Lighthouse, I have as much sympathy for the child as anybody else here, but that's not the issue. As Bill said, Spam sent in the name of that child is still Spam.
The people who fill your e-mail with Spam are good, sincere people who firmly believe in whatever they're selling - but to me, it's an annoying intrusion. Same with this. It's not a request for support for anybody that Mudcatters know - we have no personal relationship with this child, and the original requestor's relationship with the child is tenuous, at best. If you need somebody to pray for, go look in the obituaries of your local paper and pray for the families of the dead people. If you want to pray for strangers or send them good thoughts or whatever you want to do for them, that's all very nice - but can't you do that somewhere other than Mudcat?
If you want to continue this sort of thing, that's your right. If I want to continue to complain about it and point out how ludicrous it is, that's MY right.
