"My love, I know its hard to believe, but there is some silly American ( you all call us silly right) who has been of the forum for a couple years just hanging out reading thousands of forum threads. Today, he messaged me saying he would like to send me a "thank you" gift for the work I put into the forum. Apparently this guy has read a ton of post from several topics and he choose a handful of guys that he kept seeing pop up everywhere helping people. Not just being superior or snide, but actually taking the time to help people who needed it get through their projects, without making them feel dumb or inferior or asking questions. Apparently he has already sent out several boxes to other forum users and they all replied back that its legit. For some reason, he decided he is sending me a meter. Its a bit bigger than the space I have but if you are okay with me accepting, I think it would mean a lot to him."
*I am going to keep editing this post until its absolutely perfect. Pitiful, yet hard to be mad at, just the right level of embarrassment and 'feel bad for' until it works.
For the record I have been trained to do some counter-xxxxxx and xxxxxxx so you will not win.
