SmileTrain, whoever they are, made me this offer I can’t possibly refuse.

Mr. Eigler, make one gift and we’ll never ask for another donation again.

It was tempting. It was perhaps too good to be true. Might the invasion of donation solicitations finally abate, if I only paid?

Maybe. But maybe I’m the kind of fellow who doesn’t mind shredding the occasional postal kindling to feed the backyard bonfire. Maybe I get a tiny grin each time some agency spends their hard-earned (?) cash on mailing me some “Addressed Admail”, getting nothing in return. Except the kind of publicity in this blog post. Yes, maybe that’s just the kind of guy I am. Sorry about that.
