It's cool to find other cool people on other cool message boards!

The thing is...I can see the people of this board (and have seen) doing a random act of kindness like this.

Backstory: I just recently joined this robot oriented message board so I wasn't there in the beginning of this saga. Apparently a guy from Australia bought a vintage "smoker robot" (i.e. EXPENSIVE!) off another guy in the U.S. on ebay. He never sent the robot. He enlisted the help of some U.S. friends from this message board and they tried to get the guy to cough up. Finally he sent him a junked out POS robot. Seems this guy was pulling a bait and switch scam. Well these great board members got together to help out the Aussie. The Aussie has no clue as to what these people are up to!

Who says the internet ain't real life? Maybe it ain't...I have way more friends here than I do in real life! [img]wink.gif[/img]

Edit: I fixed the link.
