Update on TTW and Yoshi

270. That's a misunderstanding and I'm sorry you feel I'm repeating that request

If people feel moved to provide resources for TTW, they should only feel the need to do that once - or as many times as they personally feel like it. Not because I'm requesting it.

My replies in that regard were meant as an explanation of why I participate in the thread and why I don't feel TTW threads should be banned.

The US has cut a great deal from social services in recent years. Most people are not aware of how the affects people in crisis. The act of looking for resources brings the lack to their attention. I hope this remains on their minds when they vote for their political representatives or even as they participate in their local governments. People should be aware of what's REALLY available before they make snap judgments about what the poor can do for themselves.

You have mentioned how you have personally done a lot to try to help TTW. I commend you for that, and I'm sorry if my attempts to raise political awareness of the paucity of resources for people in crisis have caused you any stress.
