    Default Dobbers health update

    After reading Dobber's health update on the front page and learning that there will be no Mid Season Guide this year, i thought it would be a nice gesture if he still put up the option to buy it. Id be more than willing to purchase it this year even if one is not produced, heck maybe he could answer one fantasy hockey question via PM. All the proceeds could go to his family in this time of need.

    I dunno just a thought.

    I think it's a nice gesture, but it may just end up causing headaches for him when unsuspecting customers buy it without understanding that it doesn't actually exist and is only ceremonial.

    Dobber also expressed a disinterest in charity (which I respect very much), so I'm not sure it's something he would want. If I was him, I wouldn't want this, as well intentioned as I know it is. If you want to support him, there are plenty of other guides and products for sale that you can purchase, as well as turning off your ad-blocker, etc. Things beyond straight charity.

    I think this sums up the situation well.

    Completely understandable. Removing the ad blocker definitely helps, and you could always throw a little money at him by buying things you wouldn't normally buy (baseball guide, playoff guide, or even guides from previous years which are still available if you really want to get nuts). Recommending the site/guides to your friends would be another good way of indirectly helping, but I can't recommend promoting the guides to people in your pools if you like winning
