Why are experts here?Usenet help type newsgroups have rescued me many times and I am very
grateful. It is the best support I have ever found anywhere on the net. I was wondering, do experts get paid for dispensing their advice? Why do they do it? Is it like an apprenticeship? (Some of us would be lost without you people helping.) To my knowledge none of them are paid. Some like to help. Sometimes
they need a bit of help themselves on an issue or two. But can help with others. "Frank W." <reply_to_newsgr***@please.ccom> wrote in message Nope, none of us get paid.

Usenet is a pretty thankless place, but generosity is rewarded in other ways. Probably because we at one time had the same type of issues. Since humans are naturally magnanimous we do it. Plus it's a learning expereience for a lot of us and so there you go.
