I'm not spamming. I'm just trying to reach as many people as possible. This is not a scam or a joke. This is a very serious matter to me and I am trying to help a dying kid. I'm sorry if you feel that I am spamming.

I would just like to verify that this is a real kid and not a hoax:

My prayers to him and his family.

Posting in every sub-forum IS spamming.

Ah cmon guys, the blokes trying to do something decent. Give him a break eh?

I say, give the guy a break and send a card. What's it gonna hurt? Let's show the boy that there is goodwill and decent people that care enough to show a little compassion in this world. Even for someone we don't even know.

When someone tries to do something good I dont think it is spam.

I certainly wish this individual the absolute very best and think what you're doing is extremely noble, but ... I've already received numerous complaints about it. I've removed the relevant posts outside of the Lounge. Fact is you'll likely get the majority of eyeballs on the topic by keeping it an active thread in this area anyway.

I appreciate everyones kind words. I apologize for putting it in every forum. I was just trying to reach as many people as possible. Thank you to the people who have sent cards.....you are truly doing a good thing.

sent today, hope the little fella gets it in time. deepindigo, thanks for the reminder of how lucky must of us are.

There is nothing to apologize for. People just need to relax. I am sure that if they were the one dying and someone did this for them, their opinion on the matter would be largely more tolerant. My wife will send a card ... for sure.

Poor kid just wants one last christmas. The post office tell me my card will take 3-4 days. Hope he doesnt mind it being a little later than he'd have wished.

I guess it's true...No good deed goes unpunished. Not knocking you at all Brad, just that some people would actually stoop that low.

I find it a little bit sick that the guys been persecuted by other forum members, just cos he posted in every section. I'm sorry but that kind of nit picking, pedantic attitude tends to send me from barney the dinosaur to jeff dahmler mentality pretty quickly.

If thats the way things are going here, i dont want to know. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. How about thinking "there but for the grace of God go I". Instead of how "many utterly boring SRV tossing off threads can we ram into one section of the forums?".

Pray it never befalls you.

Seeya.
