Peter, You are, of course, right.

I thought we were (for the most part) all friends here, and that people would actually like to know (especially in light of the posting about how noone, particularly conservatives, is helping the victims of this tragedy) there was some good going on. I was hoping, as with what occured in the Tsunami thread from last January, that we would see an outpouring of generosity from other members in this forum. I was wrong.

I also left myself open to a negative intrepetation of my intent.

Perhaps the consensus here is that giving should be a private matter.

Please accept my apologies.
