Hi Pat, With respect, there is a big difference between taking a 10 minute tech support call, and spending hours getting something scripted. I still can't see why people are not allowed to make a living at what they are good at.
All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: Pat Ferguson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday 5 January 2009 21:43 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Scripts I would Pay For Hi Mike and Everyone, I think scripts should be free, but that doesn't mean they are going to be free. I realize people have to make a living, and just because I said they should be free, doesn't mean they are going to be. And, you ask me if we charge for our services! Well, I have never, ever charged for a tech support call. You check out our catalog at http://www.fergusonenterprises.com Tell me if you see anything about us charging for services! !!!! If people want to charge for scripts, they have the right to do that. Does GW Micro charge to be on this list! Of course not. Are we charging each other to help one another? Of course not. I don't understand why there is such a weird additude on this list.
