I suggest we take up a collection so you can be compensated for your time spent here. I know that the advice you gave to me earlier this week in the CNC Tooling Forum was invaluable.
There are many folks here like Bill (angelw), SteveO, and others too numerous to mention that go to extreme lengths to be helpful. Never once have I seen any of these guys (or gals) complain about how much time they spent to provide a solution, or that "I don't paid for it." (I assume you meant that you don't GET paid for it.)
Obviously your time is much too valuable to be wasted here, especially on the 8 or 9 out of 10 that you DON'T care about. You probably should pre-qualify the OP's to be sure they are worthy of your help.
