Sir, I wasn't addressing you specifically. I was merely pointing out that in spite of numerous times very clear and specific instructions were given for how this thread was to work, people still didn't get it.
At the same time I was not specifically complaining about ME not getting a chance at the items offered. I just discovered this thread for the first time. Furthermore, just like you, I buy whatever I need, but that's not what this thread was supposed to be about.
If you go to the beginning, it was said numerous times by the mods that the Pay it Forward concept is indeed about being fair to everyone. And now you're telling me "I don't care, life's not fair". Doesn't make any sense.
Not trying to pick a fight, especially since even though I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you in person, I have great respect for you based on your posts and your photography
I think as is often the case on the interwebz, I failed to convey the true emotions behind my post. I guess it could have been misinterpreted as me whining about not getting any free stuff, when in reality I couldn't care less.
If you look back on the thread I have never taken one item. I simply point out that you don't always get a fair shake in life Unfortunately but that is the way it is. if you want to call it "Free $hit" That is perfectly fine with me if I need or want something I simply buy it instead of begging for it on the internet.
