I just received a random $100 via paypal, for some code I give away for free. A few minutes later I got this email:
Hi Matt,
Thank you for your all help and plugin. I just send you the $100 donation for your wonderful plugin and all help (this $100 was funded by my NGO who works in India for improving the education)
I would not consider this as donation this just the bill of the coffee which I really like to have with you.(but as I am in India its not possible right now)
I wish I could donate much to you reading your help. But right now I don't have much budget for this. but just to let you know you actually help more then 0.5 million student in india for there education as I used your wonderful plugin in non profit education website for government of India. and now we want to increase this website to more then 5 million student but right now we have budget and technology constrain .
just to give you brief about me I am also an software engineer working for P&G(but in CMS interwoven) also active member in a educational NGO and in my spare time I have created this website for education. and also recommended your name here in NGO for help in this educational website. I would like to add your name in this educational website please let me know if you are OK with this. so that I can share you the link for the website.
Thanks

Man, AD, all those wild and titillating rumours are EXACTLY what you find on the internet. That's what the internet's FOR. Also, I learned a long long time ago that you never trust a story that starts with "a friend of a friend". Tossing that aside, what's more likely, Pronger's wife doesn't want to live in Edmonton because she's the daughter of a billionaire, or because her husband cheated on her. One of them is based on a knowable fact, and a highly likely correlation to that fact. The other one, if it's true, (and there is no actual evidence that I've seen to prove that it is true), is a reason to leave your spouse maybe, but not to move to a bigger city, how's that supposed to help with infidelity?
You, my friend, have been sucked in to a sub-genre of professional sports called "made up soap operas written by losers with literally nothing better to do in their lives than daydream about their favourite athletes' sex lives, and physical fitness levels." And I'll even go one step further, if any or all of that WAS true (which I bet it's not) who give one iota of a crap? It's a teen gossip magazine, but instead of being about Justin Bieber or that new boy band, it's about hockey players.
I agree with Paras, from 4th line cup of coffee grinders , to first line snipers from Russia who have a reputation for laziness, there's nothing lazy about working the hours it takes to become so proficient at hockey that people will pay you millions of dollars to do it. They've all worked harder than 99% of the hockey-playing population. That's very hard.
But I do agree with the convoluted message of AD's post, it would be nice if it at least LOOKED like they gave a crap out there. It's like you paid $100 to see a 2 and a half hour Bruce Springsteen show, and then the Monkees come out instead, in their 60's, tired of life, sick of having to Monkee around as their sole source of income, nagging divorces to pay for, coming off some sort of prescription drug addiction, don't even know what day it is or what city they're in... That's the Oilers right now.

I guess we're just going to have to disagree on this one, AD.
