Agreed. The raffle thing for sick kids? Yeah, who cares if strangers join in, in fact, the more the merrier! When the thread is a 'Rig-Talk Guitar Build'....IDK, I'm just a different type of person I guess.
It's like when you see traffic backed all the way up the road and swarms of people around here, someone is giving something away for free, even if it's just a $10 turkey.
I grew up the poorest of the poor, no slight there at all, but I'll see people in brand new cars waiting to get something for free and I'm like "this isn't for you"
