Well of course I did it for me and because it was the right thing, otherwise I wouldnt have done it. I also did it so I could tell my children and be a proper example. What I didnt mention are the 3 dozen other times I 've done the same thing because it was right and didnt post but still felt good about it. If I would have done it for money then I wouldnt have gone back to tell them they lost money. So from that viewpoint it would have been innapropriate to have done so, but I didnt. But since I did do it and they gave me an incentive for doing it, I posted the theme of this thread quote:"Honesty is the best policy."
