Spot on Blueocto; ACuity, I and most of the members of this forum have absolutely no problem in giving advice - absolutely free of charge, fairly generous really as sometimes this can take a bit of time!

What we have a problem with is people who expect us to put our time and energy into unpaid work. Are we really expected to hold such little value in our skills? (which many of us have spent years - and £££ - studying for, and improving). We get defensive because we care about our profession, if we didn't care then we may as well give up now.
