I was always pretty laid-back about people who try to count me as a member just because I contributed; I can see why they do it, and it didn't seem like it hurt anything. Then one day I got an Urgent Request from a cause that wanted some extra bucks to fight some case in court, and to try to shake the tree a little they included some remark like "..and you, as a Member, might even be considered partially liable!" Oh, that got my attention all right! Now I'm VERY touchy about it...
