 Unfortunately, I tend to agree. Too many frauds have been perpetrated this
way, and there actually WAS one where the so-called dying boy who wanted
everyone to send him a postcard DIDN'T EXIST. I can't remember the details;
maybe someone else does... it was fairly recent, however.
And this may sound somewhat callous, but this doesn't strike me as a
particularly noble ambition for a dying boy to have, anyway.

 The world is NOT a nice place.

Have a nice day--
