The other guy was a wack job - you really want to put yourself in his league? This is a public forum and it can be difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff at times. The fact remains that periodically some devious people come here to suck the resources away from the "real' cancer patients/caregivers and judgement calls must be made (I am speaking for myself, not Brian).

We are a very compassionate group and go to great lengths and personal sacrifice to help others. Do you really think it's easy to continually dredge up old fears and feelings by the members of this board? Do you really think I like having the spectre of my immortality handed to me practically every time I scan the boards? And then there are these little weasels out there that feign illness for some kind of sympathy or pychosis.

This is one of the best cancer forums on the internet and you're not recommending us is a diservice to those other people in need.
