A lot of us are quite busy with $DAYJOB and not in a position to take on a
consulting engagement - and there's no good micropayment infrastructure to deal
with 20-minute consulting gigs anyway. So we give away 5 minute chunks of our
time for the benefit of the networking community. It's a large chunk of what
makes 'best common practices' evolve. (Hint - that consultant you hired? How
much of *their* knowledge did they aquire from other people's free advice?)
And those of us who *do* go looking for consulting gigs often need to market
ourselves as somebody clued. You read NANOG for a while, you get a good idea
of who is clued and who isn't. And thus you decide who gets the gig.
