> This comment is just for you, Cam, as I'm not sure if Ryan is around any more. There was a student who had asked for help paying off her student loan as she continued through u. She said she wan't to teach in the NWT & Yukon & didn't expect to make sufficient wages to pay off her loan for many years. So she asked for people to send a dollar or two to help. Within a few days, she'd already had $10,000 sent.

> Cyber-panhandling may not be psychologically satisfying but it certainly does appear to be easier & *definitely* profitable. I'm sure as it becomes more & more common, interest in "helping" out such individuals will fade - just as donations to soup kitchens, etc are way down as interest has waned.----
