Jeeeez guy's does any of this really matter in the big picture? Let's keep this in perspective and move on.

I (Black Sand Cable) gave what I would consider to be a fairly sizeable donation and the one only one who will ever know the amount other then the Red Cross, is me and me alone. Why? That is me but in the end does it matter to the people who need it if it was $5.00 or $50,000? I doubt it.

Give what you can and be happy you got something to give.

If the above is ego stroking, I don't see it but whatever.
