Ah, okay. I think your post has cleared some of this up for me, Permetaform. Sometimes this stuff is so convulated I get confused about WTF people are hinting at on their LJs mentioning it.
I'm going to step back and not get involved, but I said it once on a fandom wank thread and I'll say it again: I have no probs with people helping out FRIENDS, but if you're going to pimp on your LJ to hundreds/thousands of people to give money for one "charity" (though I hardly consider an iPod or 4 laptops a charity), you'd better be prepared to pimp them all out once the floodgates have opened.
