With all due respect to LLT, Lucas Vigor, Beadtiki, etc… I don't think Leleliz deserves your comments. Here's my reasons…

1. Liz is one of the more colorful personalities on TC. She always speaks her mind and is intimidated by no one (not even the Bigbro). She often posts what others think (but are afraid to post). Her initial comments on this topic mirror my own first take, i.e. "You survived a horrible car accident unscathed, and now there's fund raising for a new car ?? !!". Also Liz's questioning posts are mostly respectful and she (almost) never stoops to name-calling.

2. She is hardly a Scrooge. Case in point her "Holiday Swap" thread.

3. Her 1-cent donation might be in poor taste, but LLT went public with that, not her. Also it's NOT cool to make public PM's, financial transactions, and people's real names. Those were intended to be private and should not be shared with the world.

4. Although this is only a single thread, I question whether the TC community will remain sympathetic or grow annoyed if we see more threads like this, i.e. "I just lost my job","My home is being repossessed","I can't afford my kids' tuition" - Can you help a fellow Tiki brother or sister out ?? It's still a bad economy and MANY TC'ers are hurting.

So in the spirit of Christmas (which I hate), and in support of Ravenne (whom I like, but I HATE cats !!), and for LLT's great gesture of friendship to Ravenne (I never met the guy but I acknowledge his artistic talent)…

My Paypal check's in the mail !! (and it's much more than a penny). :)
