Very cool. We recently did a favor when we gave someone a place to stay for awhile. He returned the favor by selling a large quantity of our CDs & DVDs.
I'm happy to report that I haven't gone totally cynical about people and in some ways, I think Perl Monks has helped me remember for every person that's defective, there are a lot more that give without expecting a return.

For the last 6 months, my means of helping out finacially has been cut off due to lack of employement, but it has let me do other activities such as volunteer at a local cat shelter.
