First off congrats on the big 10K! I am sorry that your trust was abused by those people, nobody deserves it but it always happens to the good people. It is a pessimistic way of looking at it, but I personally just don't help others if I cannot cope without whatever I gave.

Thank you for the newbie advice, I'm not sure if I'm even "new" anymore but I have learned some of this and some I haven't. There really are some weird unwritten rules that will get you downvoted to oblivion. 👍
