"Paul Griffiths" wrote in message ... "Karen" wrote in message ups.com... I doubt the poster is who he says he is. I think he's a scam artist. I imagine a completely different sad story appears on another ng with the same P.O. Box, etc. Exactly my thoughts. Then again I may be a cynic. -- Paul Griffiths He isn't the first nor the last. Personally I think begging for money online from complete strangers is appalling, especially from people that can't afford to give in the first place. Christine |

From what "Alex Nemeth" said was found using the OP's given email address, it seems like the OP might not be a fraud, given the same message was found in a few places, 2 of which seem somewhat relevant to the OP's message. (I really have no idea what alt.support.fluffy might be, but I have an idea of what might be the topics of alt.child-support and I know a.s.s-p) You might be speculating, like me, that he (the OP) might be a fraud, but I still think either way, he's going around begging for money, which it seems he is, whichever way it's looked at. Either way, I've decided to ignore it, since it seems like the OP has said whatever he wants and has dropped out of sight? FYI....alt.support.fluffy is likely, although not certainly, to do with the 'Meow' people, which is a group of trolls who actively, specifically gather together in newsgroups to plan and execute organised trolling of other groups. They put 'meow' into their posts often and they claim (facetiously, I'm sure) to worship the cat 'Fluffy'. If that's the nature of alt.support.fluffy, which I think is probable, then posting there would be absolute confirmation that this individual is a troll. Cele |

Cele Of course, if you assume that, and I'd assume you'd have reason to say what you did if you felt it were basically the idea, then yes, I'll agree with you, Christine and anyone else. But, like I had said before, and this is just based only on the given names of the groups mentioned before, I can only assume that alt.child-support has something to do with child support, I know alt.support.single-parents has to do with being a single parent and again, alt.support.fluffy - I have no idea, so I'll take your word for it. Either way, troll or not, is anyone here really considering helping this guy out at all? If he is a troll, obviously no one wants to give him money, but, honestly, if he's legit, would that change anyone and make them feel the need to paypal him some money? |

I have my own children to look after, not to mention I think it's extremely crass to beg for money especially when there are other options. Christine |

I imagine a completely different sad story appears on another ng with the same P.O. Box, etc. Doing a quick search on Dejanews ( using as the keyword ) I found he posted this message to 3 groups, different subject lines, same message. Alt.support.single-parents Alt.support.fluffy alt.child-support And? What's your point? There was no point. Simply a query I thought might have been interesting, based upon someone elses previous post. If the OP is or isn't who he claims to be is fairly unimportant. The fact is he's going around begging for money. Maybe he needs to cancel his high speed Internet, which would save him $25.99 a month, concentrate more on his childrens' needs, rather than his own wants and live his life for himself and his children and find something better to do than go around bashing his apparently useless ex-wife over the Internet. OP: So, your ex wife is useless. Yay. Get over it. Use your time and energy on building a relationship with your children and giving them your excess time, and spare the WWW your pages created with the intent to have others feel sorry for you. You know what? You picked her (your ex-wife) and you alone. Your children didn't pick her, neither did your friends, family or some random person walking in the street. I wouldn't doubt for one second that you love your children, and the fact that you cannot change who you married and reproduced with is something maybe you should get over. Live for the future you can give your children and yourself. Don't live for the past. Sad reality is that perhaps dropping out of school until your children are well enough, and probably old enough to be in school themselves is an idea. Maybe if you could be a little less selfish about what YOU want and see what your children need, you'd consider sucking it up and working full time to live and survive, minus the begging for money via the Internet. Maybe, just maybe, saving $$ on college tuition by dropping out and considering finishing school at a later time and date and finding a job until you can finish school is a dim idea, but you know what? Lots have done it, are doing it and many in the future will do it. If you think you're so unfortunate to have children, and twins at that, while you try and get your own education done, pull your head out of the ground and give it a shake. Quit being so damn selfish. |

I did not post this, nor would I ever. ^^ One of the main reasons that adding a bit of whatever on earth it is you're responding to makes sense. -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet? |
