You know, this may make me some enemies, but damn it, Brad is right and someone needs to say so.

1) Steve (who I didn't know, but who's post I have read many times, and who's story I am very farmiliar with) took peoples money and didn't provide the product or service he promised. That is wrong.

2) Cancer is foul. As foul as it gets. It is terrifying, and nobody should have to ever deal with it. What it is not is an excuse to use other peoples money without their permission.

3) I hope Steve is ok. I would never wish his ordeal on anyone.

People need to stop arguing about this. Whether or not Steve is still alive, the odds of getting the money back are pretty much nil. What is important is that we are all a community, and that we continue to be one.

I, too, think that it is stretching it a bit to get indignant with people because they're angry about losing their money. We all have things we get mad about, and we say angry things. But we ALL do it sometime.
