Steve,

I am not trying to argue or pick a fight with you but since you wrote, "But if everyone's
helping and the one in need is not contributing, you're not really helping anyone." , I must ask, from where do you get the idea that Larry is not contributing?? I have seen nothing that implies this, only that Larry is investigating the options and will decide next week. He never said or even implied that he would not contribute, it is his problem and he is a mature responsible adult(and a great guy), with or without our assistance he will resolve the situation. With our help he may be able to continue on his journey, without, the trip may end and he will go back to the mundane everyday life that most of us long to escape from.
