Rip,
Stalking?  I'm responding.  Or are you stalking me, or better yet, stalking Thrawn by dragging him into a completely different thread.
Don't even think about preaching to me about this.  You have no idea.  
I don't feel the need to grandstand about my contribution.
You want to get self-righteous with me.  Fine let's go.  But don't tell me what I need to do to help these people.   
I travel to Sri Lanka, been to that area hit.  I have business collegues there.
You need to stop now and STFU while you're still ahead.
