I am sympathetic to what you say. As I said above, I was very reluctant to come forward with this.

In other threads, you noticed my attachment to Lauda. From what you say here, I think you will understand this: When I first came into contact with Lauda, I was down all the way in life. Through misfortunes that were not my fault, I had become impoverished, homeless... I never wanted to disclose that publicly; but I mentioned my bout of homelessness in PM to Dabs in 2020, now published in the other thread. I also know hunger and hardship.

At a time when my life was broken, Lauda helped me put it back together. I needed that. She was like a guardian angel to me. But I am pretty sure that if I had ever asked her to give me money, she would have probably issued me negative trust feedback, and cut all contact. It was not that kind of help! She knew that I am life-and-death strict about money. I observe that she had me green-trusted and trust-included at a time when she knew that I was poor.

Thus, I definitely appreciate the value of it when people help others. In fairness, I am glad you spoke up about your experience with Dabs; I don’t know him personally, either way. As you understand also, I did not ask to be solicited for money; and I cannot in conscience simply ignore what seems to have been a repeated event, just because the user’s name is “Dabs” and he is highly trusted. To the contrary, his high-trust position places on him a greater responsibility.

Okay tou got me at "I am sympathetic"..

Thank you, the reluctance is good enough based on your forum personality of strict rule compliance. With that, I'd like to end this discussion as I believe it is no longer solid to the topic which would be something I wish to avoid. Given Ive done such so many times. And I believe I would still commit, due to habit.

See you around. ;-)
