Generosity Brings Joy
By Terry Smythe

I just ran across an interesting observation about how "Generosity
brings joy to the world wide web", by Alexandra Samuel, who writes
a column for the Vancouver Sun.

Within it, she makes the following statement which says it all about
MMD and how it has helped our very special community in so many ways
over the years.

 "But the Net's greatest potential could be its effect on offline
  community.  Generosity may be a muscle that gets strengthened
  online -- and the helpfulness people practise online can spill
  over into their offline existence.  When you routinely offer
  advice or information to people on the other side of the world,
  you discover the pleasures of being helpful."
