***Just Another Reason Why Black Diamond was Selected***

I hope this is okay to share with everyone (if it's not, sorry Adam, it had to be told).

The Binaural vinyl was the last item that Dimi and I were looking for, for Black Diamond's holy grail. Not even a day or two after Dimi secured a buyer for the vinyl, Adam PM myself and Dimi and told us that the money we were using to buy the vinyl, he wanted us to use as a donation for the Japan Relief Fund (arq's thread on the Porch) INSTEAD of us buying the vinyl. Since it was too late, Adam VERY generously matched what we paid for the vinyl and made a donation in all of our names to the Japan relief fund.

I'm pretty sure Adam was okay with not letting everyone know what he did, but I had to share this extraordinary gesture. Without people like Adam (and everyone else that always donates to these holy grails), this world would be a much sadder place. Adam you deserve everything and so much more. My prayers are with the Loganator and the family- I'm so happy to hear that he is doing better.

Here's arq's thread for more info, if you would like to make a donation: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=151387

    I've always seen these holy grail threads and never paid much attention to them... but after reading this I am much more curious and I want to participate!

    Congratulations on all the money donated! What an amazing way to help others.
