in thread I think Casey West is right
As for give and take, what ever happened to being generous? Do you really think that I ask myself, "What is this person going to be able to do for me?" before I answer a question? Of course I don't. If the question is easy for me to answer, and I have energy, I answer it because answering is fun. Now if that person comes back with 50 detailed questions showing no desire to start trying to learn, then I will get irritated. Likewise a person who has a complex project (eg write this software for me) is not going to impress. But if it is easy to answer, then I am optimistic. And if it works sometimes but not others, well it works out well often enough to keep me happy.
So I have to disagree with the attitude that, "Well that idiot just had it coming. *shrug*" And I disagree because my gut response on seeing the question was not negative, and had I seen it before it got reaped, it would have been one I wouldn't have minded answering.
