    Yes, but I was talking about students who contact me (and,
    presumably, other consultants) OFF the list, in private email,
    and offer to pay our usual rates to produce "their" design.

    I'm ALWAYS willing to help students by giving them broad-stroke
    advice or by explaining a subtle point not well-documented in
    the data sheets.  I'll even write a bit of code for them if I
    think that that's the best way to explain something.

    What I DON'T like is finding out that an alleged "client" is just
    a well-funded-but-incompetent engineering student.
