Regardless of how this turns out - I think the generosity of the members of site is outstanding. Kindness is a true indication of character. I would hate to think that something like this would discourage any of you from continuing to help those in need. However, I do think I have learned that is better to donate to reliable organizations like "fishing for Kids" and refer those in need to seek assistance from the organizations. Ryan summed it up best, "what comes around goes around," I think this is a two way street - don't think the good deeds go un-noticed.

I still think the members on here that offered assistance and extended their generosity to help someone they did not know are owed an explanation and/or an apology from CRA97.......You were online all morning, and were never short of words in the past, why now?
