I have to agree. A few months ago, an FTer with whom I had essentially never interacted before sent me a UA e-cert. A legitimate one. Out of the blue, without me even thinking about asking, for basically no reason other than he thought I could use it.

There's definitely a lot of noise and disgruntlement around here, for sure... it waxes and wanes depending on the times. But, there's still plenty of advocation and general camaraderie, IMHO.
