I'm sure you're right, i was just looking for the link to donate again & i got a bit confused on this page of the thread because theres talk of Michael sharpe and other links to other bits & pieces so i just went to the OP because it was easier than scrolling through and rereading each post to clarify what its linking to. I'm not very good at finding things.I doubt people only see the OP of this thread, so likely no harm done.
i know lol poor man! i wish the edifice would come tumbling down & free us all, David included!Fantastic. Welcome to another 6 months of bashing your head against the BPS wall, @dave30th.
In particular, I would be concerned if I received that. Even if there were to be an obvious link between your first name and username here, I can't see why Dave, or the University of Berkeley, would need to have that connection confirmed.Basically asking me, using my first name, if I was the same person as my username on here, and thanking me for my continued support.
I've had an email saying "Hi, (my name)--I really appreciate it! Can I ask if you're a patient yourself, carer, or...? And where do you live? It's helpful for me to have some idea of who the donors are.
I couldn't have kept at this for so long without the incredible patient/advocate community support--it's been pretty amazing to be able to do this work."
Has anyone else received one like this? Is it genuine? Or maybe David himself could reply?
Yup sameI had an email from David thanking me for my donation a day or two ago. He said he's going through and writing to everyone to thank them, so it's likely to be genuine. You don't have to give information if you don't want to.
