That's funny, with my friends and family I give freely of my expertise, because it's the right thing to do - friends and family are supposed to help each other without expectation of repayment. At least that's what I was raised to believe in.
I find your attitude quite cold and lacking in compassion, and I wonder what would happen if you ever needed help from someone and you had nothing to offer them - you'd better hope they weren't from your school of thought. Something to think about.
