I think pure altruism is more alive than 'unpure' to be honest Keetah.

Lots of people have done lovely things for me, and not mainly money wise, and definitely for no reward or recognition. Perhaps their only reward was seeing me well and happy, which is what I like to think.

Myself, I hope, have done helpful things for people for which I require no return... Ok, has made me feel a little better about myself if that is the reward, but not shouted it from the housetops.

Yes, I think it is still in the majority.

Don't wish to mention any particular instances, as these people would be embarrased by public praise, as obviously Garinda's little helper.
