I think that in general, people arent bad. The close-knitness of the bodybuilding community and the Elite Fitness community is very evident. However, the 1-3% of the people out there that are trying to screw or mess with everyone else shouldnt change your attitude about the other 97-99% that are trying to help or need help. Its unfortunate that ppl are trying to scam, especially with money being tight over the holidays. Still, I think as a community on these boards, we should try to hold ourselves in the highest possible light and help everyone who legitimately needs it. So far, we've done a decent job of weeding out scammers/crap/pigs, so I think we can keep doing it. Good luck to you and your families, and Happy New Year.
