That's just not right and that really hurts everyone. Whenever someone benefits directly from experienced volunteers, they really ought to repay that generousity, in kind. Not to the people they learned from, though... but by continuing the cycle and helping to train/develop a new "generation" of coders who are starting out the exact same way.

And those are the bad apples that have spoiled it for people like The Geek.
