Note: This was typed on my mobile device. I had no trouble avoiding unnecessary capital letters. It’s not that hard. Life is too short to read posts that sound as if the poster is shouting at me. As I read somewhere else, “Caps lock is not cruise control for cool.” 🙂 ---

> [@la\_fille\_intellectuelle](#): > > No compensation for bone marrow donation yet you want the “african-americans” to sign right on up? Methinks the OP does not understand what a donation is. Here’s a clue - “donation” and “compensation” are mutually exclusive concepts.
