Fortis est Veritas.

Eighth Commandment: "Do Not Steal." So, don't attempt to scam anyone ... ever. Please don't. It's just not nice.

Note that I frequently monitor the actions of those member to my friend's list through SteamRep for folks who might be using my profile as an aid to 'running a con' elsewhere. Those individuals identified therein as being engaged in even just a purported illicit activity shall precipitate an immediate 'drop and block' event here. I absolutely will not tolerate, sanction, condone, or otherwise endorse that level of activity anywhere within 'my crib'

As one ages into their 60's, they begin to exchange the vigor of youth for the heuristically derived wisdom vouchsafed by life's experience. Or so I choose to believe...

Yes, at age 68, I am older than nearly every other registered account holder on Steam. And yes, I have a lot of money to spend. But that is as a result of my having gone to WORK over the decades in order to EARN it all. Consequently, I now take deep umbrage at folks who ask that I simply "give" them something. NOBODY, but nobody, ever gave me nothin' as I WORKED my way through life. Bottomline: don't ask me to "gift" you things. I don't like it, so don't do it.

As I have discovered that a preponderance of the sub-level 10 friend requests that I've received are either 'alt' or 'smurf' or 'middleman' oriented, I've since resolved to ignore (each and every) one of these on-the-spot.
