I am impressed! I never thought Tom’s letter would have caught the attention of so many people! Wow! Mr DeGroot, Tony de Great where are you coming from? New to the planet? Is any of you two been in Ukraine? Again as it was said before does any one need this bull on this web site? The fact are these: Right or wrong Tom had big concerns about the lady he was corresponding with! If it is just for money assuming the lady genuine she should be removing him from her mailing list! When I was Tom’s age I spent countless $67.00 on weekends trying to entertain a woman at the restaurant, a movie etc....just to get to know her better!Sometime it worked sometime not! Life! Tom thinks that he should not be asked for money...to help feed is quest for love. By north american standards he is right. that kind of money can be easily made in two or three hours of work! In Ukraine it is different matter! That kinds of money many people do not make it in a month!But everything cost proportionally the same or even more than in North America! The lady got 4 letters from Tom and she send four plus if she does not speak english the translation alone could cost around US$20.00 the internet cafe maybe US$5 and so on! So things add up! Just to think tha someone is a scammer because she asked for help! (If I know Ukrainian women (I should I am married to one!) it was viewed as a request for help only!) So that we do not make a long story it seems that everyone agrees that Tom’s should have been a bit more patient and give it a chance! On the other hand it is clear that P DeGroot and Tony de Great are to put it mildly to rude individuals who not only offend Tom but the rest of us! You cannot be stopped for the sake of free speach,so give each other your email address and write each other! and please live the rest of us to enjoy this site!
