Sending money to help will come back 10 fold, sending words of encouragement will come back 10 fold.
Debating against the desire to help will come back as esophageal reflux ultimately.

Whatever happened to dignity, self-respect and working for a living. Of course this guy has the right to come on this board and plead for a handout and everyone else has the right to send this guy money. At the same time I have the right to complain that giving this guy money is folly, without the inference that I am earning bad Karma by complaining.
What I dread is the day where begging through the internet is commonplace. I have already started getting emails like "I am poor russian widow with 2 small children, no job, no food to feed my children, please send me money". I am sure some people sent money with good intentions. Did that buy them Karma? How is that this woman could afford internet access and has the skills to send out so many emails yet can't afford to feed her children. I doubt her story was real but just another well conceived scam.
Now I see for the first time someone on a webmaster forum begging for money. I wonder whats next. If you think its cool for some recent college grad asking for a handout on a webmaster forum then power to you.
