What is it with people that want the noteriety of spamming this stuff across loads of newsgroups? I'm pretty sure everyone is aware of this effort and I have also made a donation but I felt more guilty for feeling I had to donate because it took someone like the Hamster to get enough publicitiy to make me do so.
I'll learn to deal with my guilt pretty much as I do when I'm accosted at the exit of Morrisons by do-gooders. I go to do my shopping, I don't need grief whilst leaving with goods essential to my daily life.
uk.rec.cars.maintenance is in my view somewhere where I can learn stuff about the vehicles I drive and whilst I sympathise with Richard Hammond's current state of health I begrudge people coming here and using as a means of noteriety by spamming across many groups.
This isn't an attack on Richard Hammond, I really do hope he makes a full recovery and would love nothing more than the Top Gear to which I am now accustomed. This is a plea to the attention-seekers that want to milk this for all it's worth!!! Leave the guy be for gods sake.
Can we get back to broken cars now please?
