Thank JPM

Much appreciated, unfortunately it seems you and the e-gold staff are the
only ones so far able to donate, I was hoping to be able to ring Charlottes
parents this morning and tell them to book her ticket to the USA, but alas
it looks like there is a fair way to go yet :-)
However we have topped the $100 mark in only 24 hours so I suppose it's a
good start

So please listees, donate as much as you can, this little girl needs your
help, even just $1.00 from each list member would be great, $2.00 would be
fantastic and $5.00 would be absolutely wonderful!!!

Kind Regards

Geoff



 I spent $20 to the cause!

 Anyone who doesn't donate IS A BASTARD!!!

How do we know that this is for real?
I am not sure that this could not be the oldest hoax
on the web: give for a good cause.

If it's for real, we've helped by our donation, if it is a hoax, maybe they
need it more than I do.  No worries.  I  trust in God and the universe to
make things right.  Either way, what goes around, comes around.

Another way to look at it is this:
If it's genuine and I give, I've helped.  If it's genuine and I don't give,
I could have helped and I've denied myself a chance to give a pittance to
help another, and denied that person something needed.

If it's a hoax and I give, I've been scammed.  If it's a hoax and I don't
give, I don't know if I could have helped or could have been scammed.   In
the balance, I'd rather take a chance that my small donation is helping
Charlotte.
Eve

2001-06-07 Thread James M. Ray

(This post, ESPECIALLY! is my personal opinion, and could be
very wrong, of course.)

I trust Geoff. He came to the system with a cool site having to do
with Volkswagons instead of scams, and he has previously been
both fast and honest in shipping items across the ocean. I'm sure
that a crook *could* use a story like Charlotte's to nail me for a
little bit of gold, but all of the signs point to Geoff as a nice guy
who is honest and who uses e-gold for the right reasons. 

This brings to mind another question, though. How could anyone
prove that Charlotte's site, or that soup-kitchen/ministry, aren't
scams? It's somewhere between hard and impossible to prove a
negative. My hope is that reputation in the community is valued
over the grams that could be obtained through a quick scheme.

IMO, YMMV, I could be wrong (frequently I AM wrong!) etc. etc.

Thanks for the honorable mention.

I had a clever reply prepared but I accidentally deleted it and I'm not
doing it over because I have been taking the receptionist's place all
afternoon at Loaves and Fishes and I'm tired of answering questions. She's
at her son's graduation from Navy swimmer rescue school or something like
that.

Basically we are a real soup kitchen, well known in the area, a member of
the Pensacola Chamber of Commerce, have a Judge and two Reverands on the
Board of Directors. We work with the School Dept. and other area agencies.
We are also well known as one of the better soup kitchens in the country
among the homeless underground if that counts for anything.

The Navy doesn't have a problem sending us donations neither do countless
area grocers, delis, lawyers, little old ladies etc. Believe it or not we
got a 600 pound blue marlin from The Pensacola Billfish Tournament a couple
of years ago. They're illegal to sell you know.

I'm not much of an arm twister never mind a scam artist so if you think you
gold is better off in your possession by all means keep it. Otherwise we
will gladly accept your donations of whatever flavor at
www.loavesandfishessoupkitchen.com .

Still, are we really there or is this just a bunch of claptrap?

In my haste I neglected to thank those of you who put aside your
reservations about what's real  what's not and sent Loaves  Fishes some of
your hard earned sweat. It will be put to good use.

Sounds like a very good cause, Geoff, and she's a cute little kid.

You might also wish to post an appeal to: 

http://www.free-market.net/forums/e-gold0009/ 

which is the new free-market.net e-gold forum (the old ones are
