Thanks again for all your replies, this topic has indeed generated some interest even in the short time it has been posted. I do appreciate all your reponses and the points and suggestions that have been made have been taken on board.
To address some of the latest points raised however:
1)The person is trying to get rid of Linden$. - Well i can certainly suggest a few noble charities, which i am sure you will agree, are far more deserving of their goodwill than myself, if they are persistantly feeling generous.
2)To get me back to their (or the) location. - I go to the location anyway regardless, I do not go there not to 'earn' Linden$, I go there because i like it- period. I do not need a 1 dollar incentive or reminder to visit or return.
3)Maybe I am just lucky? - NO, this activity has not made me feel lucky at all, quite the contrary, it has made me feel like a scapegoat, victimised and targeted for no reason given at all. Luck has nothing to do with it, even bad luck.
4)Maybe they are being friendly? - A simple IM- ''hello, how are you?'' would suffice thanks, is this not a normal person's way of being friendly? It's not difficult , everyone else seems to be able to manage it ok, why not you?
Get to know me by introducing yourself first properly, then by all means pay me as much Linden$ as you like, at least by then you will presumably have enough of a rapport (and the guts) to explain to me the reason why you are paying me in the first place!
