CB> So how would you handle the situation?

Without regard to former employment status; i.e., like any other
colleague or friend.  If it doesn't take much out of you, then there's
no point in going out of your way to cause them grief.  However...

...but probably would not go this far, unless it just took a few
minutes.


CB> Would you offer up your services as a consultant?

Would you do someone else's job for free when they're getting paid?

Ideally, it might have been easier to draw the line between "being nice"
and "consulting" before you left.

Consider: This is a list where people exchange help.  I know that the
analogy is not 1:1, but it's still food for thought.
