I suppose it's called blood, sweat and tears. Some people have spent a long
time developing, finding out, pushing the limits, getting it wrong, trying
again, etc, etc.
Although most people here seem to be good, helpful, altruistic dudes, you
have to ask your self why _you_ should be able to wander in, and ask for
the knowledge that only so many hours of frustration made possible in the
first place.
If people seem reluctant to give that hard earned knowledge away, well...
look at Doctors, Lawyers and Dentists - they make sure you go through BST
(Blood, Sweat, Tears) for at least 7 years. Many people here have been
figuring shit out for longer than that. You can't expect to just grab
knowledge from people without offering some form of barter in return - your
knowledge for example.
This is just another kind of trade or metier or profession protecting
itself and quite rightly too.
All the best,
Tom..
