6. I had no idea. Who was it? |
|
Sometimes I wonder if anyone knows who I am around here. Not like it's a hole in my soul or anything, but I definitely recognize other posters and I wonder if people do the same for me.

7. Here's my post about it. It really doesn't do justice to the generosity of this community. |

8. Wow. I don't really know what to say. |

This was before my time.
I wonder if that much goodwill is left.

She took the whole burden of rousing us to action, got us to believe that we could make a difference, waged battle against PayPal when it would not release the Funds to Andy S. (As they decided that no one internet community could really raise $ 50K in eleven days unless a scam was involved.) The morale boost this money-raising gave to Andy was as important as the surgery.
Whenever I am tempted to leave the DU community, I see a post from her and remember what this DU community can really be about.

Has anything ever come of all of that? Did you ever find out who was behind it, and was anyone ever prosecuted? I hope so. What despicable people!
