Quite... When I looked last night the appeal was still open.

Well, Matt, once again, I haven't seen anyone making a case that that there are MORE deserving causes.

One aspect of this thread is the words, apparently forgotten by many, that the good Lord said, "But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what their right hand doeth."

Just before that he told his audience to beware of trumpeting their alms-giving in front of others, as the hypocrites do in the temples in order to be praised. They have already got their reward, and the Almighty would not be best pleased with 'em!
