Absolutely.
So I met a fascinating Andrew called Andrew Warner.
And he actually told me that he didn't like his name for a long time because the name means strong and manly.
And he was quite an effeminate man and he didn't really relate to that.
And it was by joining the group that he realized, oh, actually, I don't have to correspond to a certain kind of Andrew.
My name is not my fate.
And actually, there are a wide variety of us and I can just be myself and still be a valid Andrew.
And in fact, no, he only uses Facebook to speak to other Andrews.
He doesn't even call it Facebook anymore.
He calls it the Andrews app.
That's right, yes.
I think this happened quite early on in the group, but they realized that one of their fellow Andrews was in a kind of a difficult financial position.
So they raised some money for him.
And then more and more Andrews came forward and the founder called Andrew Patz, he recognized that,
He could do something good here.
So, for example, every Christmas they have a Christmas gift drive.
So if there are any Andrews who have children who may be struggling to afford gifts for their children, other Andrews can buy them items online and send them over.
It's like a real kind of fundraising community has sprouted from this.
Exactly that.
I think if you were to see the headlines, you would understandably have this horrible view of Andrews because of the notorious Andrews that are constantly in the press.
