Hi Frank,

Thanks for your interest in creating an Idealist Group. The primary purpose of
Idealist Groups is to allow Idealist members to interact and create a community
around an issue or common interest.

While your group seems appropriate for our website, we are not entirely comfortable
with the language you have used in the profile. We attempt to ensure that the site
be appropriate for children and teens and uphold that profiles and listings not use
vulgar or violent language. Please read more about our Terms and Conditions at the
following link:

http://www.idealist.org/en/about/terms.html

We have rejected your current profile, but we invite you to apply with your group
again, avoiding such terms as "jerk" or "crap." Again, we would be happy to include
your group on our site with a profile with a bit milder language. I have included
your original profile in this email for your reference.

Please let me know if this is not clear, or if you have any additional questions or
concerns.

Sincerely,

Elise

now here's the fun part, if you go to:
http://www.idealist.org/if/idealist/en/SiteIndex/AssetViewer/view?asset=Org&asset-id=173925-74
CMC is listed, so somewhere in the organization CMC fell through the cracks and got listed. It came up on a Google search as number one using the search term China Makes Crap. What fun.
