This was about Olin, but it applies to anyone.

Why "a pox on you" if someone chooses not to contribute?  Why should Olin,
or anyone, feel obliged to offer free help?

For anyone who does provide help, to newbies or anyone, that's great, and
it deserves our thanks.  But I don't see that it's right to criticise
someone for remaining silent.

I suppose I take this personally, because I seldom contribute here, and
every now and then I see something that I could answer, but I generally
don't take the time to do so, because I have many other things to do, and
choose to spend spare time writing tutorials that could help more people
than a single answer in the PIClist could do.  Does that mean "a pox on
me" for not helping more?
