Wow, you are my hero. I'm shaking just thinking about posting that.
I guess from some of your and 2ndMost's posts that you did not get badly flamed. That's strange because I have been flamed for much gentler language. Maybe it's better to just spit it out
I didn't get one flame. But, I didn't read all the posts either, so I don't know what was said in those. My freep mail was filled with good wishes, and lots of questions on how to donate. Of course, I just told everyone to ask BADJOE (LOL!) Seriously, everyone was great to me! And I replied to all. That took a long time, but if we ask for money, we should also thank those who took the time to write. It was worth everything and I would do it again in a minute.
FReepers are fantastic!
