I have a really simple idiology about programming.
If I need a program or piece of code for my site that is beyond my own skill level and someone can provide it, i'll use it. If it's good enough and suits my needs well enough, i'll pay for it.
When I have a bit of code that i've done, I throw it into the community in a hope that someone else can make use of it, my coding aint great but it gets me by and sometimes it's the basic stuff that catches other people out too, so giving my little snippets where I can is my way of returning the favour.
The problem I have, is that I find that when it comes to spending my valuble time helping others in any way I can for free, when it comes to me asking for a bit of help from anyone else for something i've got stuck with, most people simply ignore the request like it is some serious disease, or they damand cash.
