I for one can not speak for the community, but the three points
highlighted above do not add up. Here is the scoring:
Community Your Company
Cost of help offered free paid
Time/money investment large large
2 : 1
It is OK to charge for any provided service, good or bad. It is not OK
to label this as "giving back as much as was offered".
