I think its more a sign of the times when people are so concerned with
their own lives and accumulating all their worldly possessions...
Its a sign of the times when people would rather walk over ya vs. give
you a helping hand.
I really don't want to get into a flame war here - but I can't keep my
mouth shut on this one. The suggestion that I was "mooching" by asking
if someone would run a car fax for me, really pissed me off. (Yes I am
aware that carfax does not allow such activity) In all my years on The
DML, I've never seen anyone call anyone a moocher for asking for a car
fax. Excuse me for asking for a small bloody favor from anyone.
I wasn't asking someone to check out 30 cars for me... I had two cars
that I had my eye on, one in particular... and as it turned out it was
not a good car. I bought my car fax account after no one immediately
volunteered, and as the accounts are only valid for 30 days I just
assumed that no one on The List had an active account.

I don't know if that was directed at me personally or not... but I'll
comment that I'm not one to wait around for a hand out. I'm not one to
dislike getting down and dirty to get a job done. I work hard for what
I have... I go weeks on end without a day off (I'm in the middle of
another 19 day work "week" right now)
Guess the concept of "pay it forward" hasn't reached some people.
Don't know what that is? Google it.
