    In that case I can volunteer some help if he wants to come to the truck stop. I can offer a free corona free blowjob too as one of our cute little white trash hookers is drinking rubbing alcohol and breathing aerosol bleach between tricks. We were nice to her and told her a black light was UV and she bought it.

    I'm a big nonprofit nerd. I've worked in nonprofits for several years, and I've served on multiple nonprofit boards. I'm all about accountability, transparency and due diligence.

    But, come on -- the dude saw an immediate problem in his community and stepped up to help fix it. If I saw somebody who'd been raising money for years without getting 501(c) status or filing a 990, yeah, I'd be suspicious and I wouldn't give them anything. But that's not what's happening here.

    Maybe down the road, the guy will start a 501(c)(3). Or maybe he'll start researching it and realize that there's an existing 501(c)(3) that has a similar mission, and he'll start volunteering for them instead. But for now, he's just trying to do some good, and I'm happy to help.

    Meanwhile, even though most of us don't know each other outside of Wordforge, I've been interacting with @Ancalagon here for the last 15 years, he's pretty darn open about his offline identity, and I'm willing to trust that if he vouches for this guy, the dude's legit. And if I'm wrong, the $10 I just sent isn't going to break me.

    Or you could just contribute anyway and stop letting him live rent free in your head. :shrug:

    "Excellent! Still willing to contribute if you can condescend to read this."

    Sentence implies you'll contribute only if he takes you off ignore and reads it. So not really buying the "I might have" line.

    And clearly he's not only living rent free in your head he has the top twenty floors of it in his name.

    The thread's pinned; you don't need to keep hyping it. Has he offered any followup on how his friend's cause is doing?

    And you're still hurt that he won't even respond to you.

    That's what I thought. Which suggests I'm the one living rent-free in his head. :P

    I have no communications with him. I was just messing with you since he clearly lives in your head rent free and it's funny just how desperate you are to get him to respond to you.

    Not as desperate as you are to keep this conversation going a full week after my previous post. :shrug:

    So maybe it's you who wants Anc, given that you can't stop posting in his thread.
