Can we stop the $#@#$@& "egg begging" threads?

Yes, I got my egg buddies from the original egg buddy threads! In all honesty, I can't see egg begging as getting too many responders. Someone posting that they have eggs to give away, I can understand. But not this, "I need 1000 eggs to get to the hotel!" Don't they realize they need 1000 snakes anyway?!

Maybe I'm a pessimist after reading about folks ripping off other folks regarding egg swaps. I found it far better to get egg buddies from the original egg buddy threads and do reasonable sized exchanges than the crazy stuff I've read about, "We exchanged 50 but when I dropped 400 they disappeared," comments. Not to mention the "loss" of any accountability threads that were buried in the egg begging noise.

However, I have appreciated the "thank you" threads I've seen about folks doing the right thing and/or being generous.
