True, that's the point. It's a necessary self-protective stance. Before I adopted that rule (and the secrecy rule), giving money resulted in me being hounded incessantly for money from every other group under the sun. I think I got it worse than many because I tend to give large amounts. It was a nightmare.

I'll never make that mistake again.

Another writer I like, discussing exactly this problem, referred to it as "the quantum unit of sacrifice". It is annoying. Very annoying! But like, that's all it is.

It was more than just annoying. It cost me time and energy.
