Y'think that some of those posters are professionals that
see USENET as a threat to their livelihood? And if we
simply share information on how to do something safely,
s/he thinks that they will end up in the poor house?

Increased revenue by spreading fear.

I live in fear ever working day: the fear of being wrong. As a result, I
carry liability insurance but still try to be careful. Being careful reduces
my risk of being wrong, and is expected of me by the state that licenses me.
What interest do I have in making work for another professional in another
state? Some generalized fear of disaster in the hearts of do-it-yourselfer
everywhere? Time to adjust your headgear: http://zapatopi.net/afdb/

The problem could also be reframed:

"It seams that in 90% of all posts on this newsgroup somebody wants to cut
corners without really knowing what they're doing and hope to find some
knowledgeable professional who will give them the go ahead without having
all the facts of the situation in front of them, and for no compensation,
while exposing themselves to liability for faulty advice.

Y'think that some law-breaking cheapskates are looking for cover if they
screw up and their world comes down around their ears?

Decreased accountability by deflecting responsibility."

Discuss amongst yourselves! I'm verklempt!

Hello,

The Information Highway (Internet) is for sharing: sharing experiences.
When i post a question, iam hoping to find someone that has had the
same expeience . . . then we
"talk". This is called sharing and giving and helping. If a person that
posts a question becomes a helper here on the Information Highway - so
what . . .
