sarah_webinc donation thread

[Lee]

Im going to throw my $0.02 in here as well..

Whilst the initial response asking for donations to help Sarah with funeral costs was a very good thing to do it now appears that there are 'several' donation threads that have been started on a range of boards that in my opinion serve nothing more than;

a ) Raising post counts on the boards in question;
b ) Giving 'no-namers' something of a new name for themselves and finally;
c ) Reminding Sarah of her loss on a daily basis.

IMHO all three of those points shouldnt be happening but non the less, it doesnt change the fact that the first two donation threads were done in a heartfelt manner but i think there are now to many people putting their 'marketing spin' on an unfortunate situation that im sure everyone no matter what their views are on the matter truely condole for.

As a prime example of point b above please see this thread over on the zoo..

If that isnt tryng to make yourself look good for marketing purposes based on Sarahs recent loss what is?

I just find it pathetic and to me it shows a lack of character on the thread starters part.
