sharpie00, why don't you post this in Off-Topic? You're right, it's NOT a Hot Deal. That's why Off-Topic is there. There are plenty of people in there too to see your posts.

I don't mean to be completely insensitive, but why was this posted here at all? What is the point? And yes, this obviously doesn't have anything to do with hot deals, but i'm still missing the justification for posting it HERE. fill me in or something. I'm confused. :Q

Since you guys are trying to be nice I will be brash.

This is the Hot Deals forum. It is meant for hot deals. At times we see a little humor now and then, but nonetheless Anandtech segments there forum to best reach the proper audience. We can go on for hours with sobs and prayers for the victims in India, but lets face it, when you live on a fault line there are going to be earthquakes.

You'll get no sympathy here. Sorry dude.

While many people are sympathetic to the problems India faces right now, this would be much better received at the Off topic forum located here. In the Hot Deals forum, you will just receive a bunch of flames and/or "Lock it up mod" posts.

Repost this in the off topic forum, as I am sure many people would be interested in reading this over there. In the meantime, you should probably edit out your post so that you don't get flamed to badly.

i'm afraid this is not the place for this. there is a lot of horror in the world today and if we were allowed to post it here then there would be no room for any hot deals.

Oh, the horror... of hot deals sullied by this.

I didn't read the first post, but is India for sale, or can we pricematch it or something? Linkify!

I thought this was probably the most popular forum. From the replies, I'm going to remove the letter and wish I could remove the thread completely from the risk of being flamed. I guess I didn't realize how insensitive members of this forum really were.

And just because it's not a hot deal doesn't mean it's not for a good cause. Instead of taking all of the time, why not try to give once in a while. So many people are suffering out there and all you think about is your free crap and discount crap. How disappointing to know that there are people like you out there. Thanks A**holes.

I just got off the phone with Staples rep Jesus Christ. He states that Staples will beat the crap out of any aid that the Red Cross tries to offer India. From the likes of the phone call Jesus was making a statement along the lines of "All Your Aid Are Belong To Us!!!1"

Please do not assume ppl just go to Anandtech Hot Deal forum ONLY!!!

Each forum have its purpose, that is how you organize things.

Your post was just not in the corresponding forum, do not get upset and assume other people that goes by the rules are "a**holes".

Just my 2 cents.

My guess is that india doesn't have burnproof. Ooops, did I say that?
