What a lovely world we live in. No wonder there is so much strife. No
bugger trusts each other. Ok so I may of made a few mistakes in
registering the domain, or by using paypal, who hasn't? If I offended
anybody with my post, then sorry. You've may not experienced the shock
and stress involved with cancer (neither had I until now). I love my
mother-in-law to bits (as strange as that sounds :) ), and as she is on
a low income (She is a school teacher in Slovakia), she needs some help.
As I am not financially well off and can not afford to help as much as I
would like to I decided to send the original email to ask my peers for
assistance, I see no problem with this as If I was able to help another
member of this forum, I would.

It is easy to jump to conclusions, I know, but why would I try to scam a
forum that I actively partake in? If you do not wish to contribute,
don't I'm not forcing anyone, not do I expect anything. I was just
putting it out to people on the off-chance that someone could help.
There is a saying that I learnt the hard way. "If you don't ask, you
don't get"..
