Herre is the copy of the message I've just sent to the staff. I had not read your previous messages till now, and some do make me vomit ! Please note that I was particularly thinking to Chinese, Tibetan or African people:

"Godd afternoon, dear all,
I want to transfer 4,000 from my 4,009 brownies to someone who resides in a country where it's difficult to live as a translator. I personally have no difficulty to make brownies, because I'm living in a privileged country in terms of communications/ access to media, i.e. in France. I'd like my brownies to be donated to someone who, because of his/her place of birth - which no one of us may select in advance ) - has big difficulties to subscribe to ProZ. That's your job to know who may be the recipient, that's not mine because I don't know these persons personally - what I do regret sincerely. So, I think that the best option would be to create a "ProZ Foundation for colleagues in difficulties" (Please feel free to call that the right way in English If you do that, I do agree to give you my 4000 out of 4009 bownies. Thank you for making your best efforts to find the right solution.
Thank you for all that good job.
Happy Cristmas"

Bonsoir Catherine,
Il s'avère que je dispose d'un peu plus de Brownies, et que je me suis rendu compte qu'ils pouvaient être offerts en lisant un autre fil.
J'ai consulté les réponses données à ce propos et ai repris la FAQ.
En toute logique, ce don ne peut être fait que par un membre Platinum pour qu'un autre puisse devenir Platinum.
Or je ne suis pas Platinum, et même si je dépensais ma partie de Brownies pour ce faire, j'aurais encore de quoi faire le don à un autre.
Avec 8000 Brownies je peux aider deux personnes à devenir Platinum :
Moi, et offrir les 4000 restants, ou deux autres personnes à qui cela pourrait vraiment rendre service.
La question est posée : le Staff, j'aide comment ?

Cher Adrien,
Comme dit le vieil adage "Charité bien ordonnée commence par soi-même". Donc, commence par utiliser 4000 brownies pour faciliter ta propre inscription - je t'assure que ça vaut le coup - et fais don des 4000 autres. (Summary for the Staff : Do use the first 4,000 to facilitate your own subscription - it does worth it - and donate the remaining 4,000 to somebody else)
Then, I think that we both are on the same "wave length" ; We both would like to donate our brownies to colleagues who DO need them (in some countries where it's difficult to make a life - financially or politically - with the translation job), but we are not equipped/armed to make that selection by ourselves. You are the only ones who can do that, you, the ProZ staff.
We are really awaiting for your proposals.
Thank you in advance
Catherine

Je crois que je suis la dernière à avoir offert mes points, tout bonnement, par deux fils, français et espagnol. Naturellement il y a eu des propositions mais des deux côtés on m'a gentillement fait savoir que ce n'était pas la façon. J'ai donc procédé comme indiqué et je garde les 4000 qui restent pour moi car en début d'année je devrais renouveler
Je ne vois vraiment pas ce qui peut faire vomir?????
Mamie.
