I have read your first post Dread and appreciate that you are raising advice from members a suggestion of whether your help you have given people is appreciated and I realise you are running a business from home.If people you have helped have made suggestions that they would like to honour you a donation,then that is entirely up to them but if they say one thing then do not do that I understand how you must feel as I know you give alot of your expertise one to one time to help people in need.It would seem unfair to not show you the appreciation if they have said they would.
You are an asset to this clan and your skills have not gone un-noticed,there are a number of members who also have valuable skills that are for the benefit of this clan.Maybe when you help someone next time you can maybe strike up an agreement should you wish to as I am sure people wouldnt mind knowing that you are one of our best custom pc guys and anywhere else this kind of assistance would be hard to find.
On a final note to those that read this,I do not want this to become a Drama as there is no need.
Dread I hope you are ok and I for one appreciate everything you have done to assist our members.
