> Wouldn't getting a new job, any job, be much easier and far more psychologically satisfying than cyber-panhandling?

> This comment is just for you, Cam, as I'm not sure if Ryan is around any more. There was a student who had asked for help paying off her student loan as she continued through u. She said she wan't to teach in the NWT & Yukon & didn't expect to make sufficient wages to pay off her loan for many years. So she asked for people to send a dollar or two to help. Within a few days, she'd already had $10,000 sent.

> Cyber-panhandling may not be psychologically satisfying but it certainly does appear to be easier & *definitely* profitable. I'm sure as it becomes more & more common, interest in "helping" out such individuals will fade - just as donations to soup kitchens, etc are way down as interest has waned.----

> Shouldn't you be blocking/kicking the "Cyber Panhandler" Lazukars instead of Jay60? Jay60 was just being sarcastic.

> What I found VERY strange was when someone isn't allowed to post web sites saying where meds can be ordered from, the URL is always removed & replaced with XXX by the doctor.

> Yet, while asking for money isn't allowed either, the poster's address remains for any gullible enough to send him money. Where's the logic or rationale in that?

Regarding the fact that you don't allow URLs of sites that sell drugs to be posted here, how about removing the address of this person who posted? While you caught his address in his original posts (& substituted xxx), his address still exists in my response to him at http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/social/20020908/msgs/30412.html
I missed his address remaining there until another poster kndly pointed it out to me. It may be a good idea to remove both his address there & the link to the site ... where his address can be found.
There's lots of money to be made just by asking on the internet.
