Maybe that's just me. New account, first post - not in Introduce Yourself or Newbie Central. Tug at the heartstrings, hint that you are broke and in need of seeds. Maybe I'm just jaded by all the scams and fakes on the Internet. I wasn't sure, so I didn't bother to reply. If this person was real, I think they can still put in a little effort on their own - maybe look around RIU and join in discussions rather than just wait for a reply to something that felt to much like begging for seeds.
A few days later, the OP still had just the one post. That still didn't prove anything. However, I suggested my theory not to attack "her" but in defense of employedmale - a RIU member that I do not know but seems to be a contributing member on these forums - and at a glance not to attack "single moms" but to talk growing.
