Big G, we all pay our help to Joshua in the way of that not so little thing that comes out of our pay each month called tax! (Some of us even pay extra for private health so we don't/will not use much of the NHS anyway!) Whether people wan't to choose to pay extra on his site is up to them, but I think it is BANG out of order calling people all the names under the sun for wanting to help out someone they know with something they can relate to of their own choice without even being asked!

N8THN, you have made your point in your first post, it is a very valid one, BUT the fact you keep posting the same thing for the last 2 or 3 pages (i.e. calling her a charity case and telling others they are wrong for wanting to help) tells me you are either a) Jealous (you do seem to get rather clicky when people say this!) or b) stuck on the same fucking record! Change it! You are exactly the same as people that post on other peoples for sale ads saying the item is a rip off or just plain shit. What is the point?? There isn't one! you are not helping yourself and you are not helping anyone else! Spend your time doing something useful!

Maria has not once asked for help or even mentioned the thought of it. I think it is great of people such as Zoo/Stu etc to offer their TIME helping out someone. Remember, it is not all wasted time for the company helping them out! Lots of companies donate to charity you know, something about business reputation! Financial contributions, are a bit of an odd one, and as of yet no one has contributed anything financially, but if people want to do it, and Maria wants to accept it then that should be her decision and I for one won't think anything less of her for doing so! Giving gifts to cheer someone up isn't unheard of you know!

I have been through the same as you N8THN when I melted my engine, as have lots of other on this site, (many more than once!) yet you seem to be the only one who has to think like this, and repeat it so much!
