Russ... there is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED for you to apologize for anything, and I hope it wasn't my post that made any one think that ...
Actually, while quiet giving is always wonderful, I think it is important for people to be reminded that most of us could be doing something more, and if hearing about other people's actions inspires that, then I think it's wonderful ...
I personally like to hear especially about celebs who donate money and time and effort to worthwhile causes ...

Merry Christmas,
