  EdwardRo:

  Thank you scott

  No balls gifted though eh?

  Despite the fact that you're in the USA, have access to all the surveys etc to earn free credits and are disabled, at home and time to kill (pardon the bad joke).

  Join a club, make a few more friends and...sorry if this sounds harsh, perhaps you can touch them up for a few sleeves.

  Don't be a stranger and come begging. It just ain't right dude.

  @ Paul: Yeah, I know what's right. I have given away thousands of credits to people I thought were deserving. I still do.

  A long time ago I learned a lesson about teaching a man to fish.

  I'm all for giving someone a hand-up. I refuse to give someone a handout.

  @ Craig: I'm sorry to hear about your friend's death. My position remains however. I will gladly give someone a hand-up. If however, they have the means, as so many others have said and ratified, to earn free credits, through a little of their time, I'm not going to give them a handout.

  Cheers,

  Peter
