come around and demand that I give even more for free, I can have a
pretty short fuse. LOL

Hi Michelle, I certainly value your time and work...I've mentioned that
before (baalwww). Here's my two cents based on over 30 years of software
development in all types of roles: there will always be camps on
everything! There are camps as to which hardware should be used, which
programming language, which architecture, which cms, and, as I've seen
here more and more, the same when it comes to the thought of whether
apps should be provided for free or whether someone's time should be
compensated (let alone, compensated profitably or beyond). My feeling:
if ALL my work is to be for the greater good, then someone needs to
start paying for the things that aren't provided to me out of the
greater good, like my mortgage, gasoline, food...
