I'm being truthful. Yes, I would like a little more Excel programming business. However, I also enjoy helping others at no charge. I always have.

The difference that I see and the opportunity I see is;
___Some people need more help then they are currently getting in these forums(as evident by the unanswered threads). Many of these are not getting the answers they need because they require significant efforts. So, is it better to ignore these people or is it better to offer them a choice of "paid for" service? The forum can always post a disclaimer about not being responsible for bad service providers and recommend caution in the selection of a service provider. You may want to consider providing a service provider reviews section.

Apparently, I've said some things in this forum that upset some of the key-players. I apologize for for whatever offended you guys. If you do not want me to contribute, just say so. Right now I feel that I am not welcome here and that all of my posts need to be "Approved/Censored" before I post them. I do have issues with the forum rules, especially the "unwritten" rules.
If you see unanswered threads that you can answer, then answer them, or if you decide you don't want to answer them, them don't.
Why make such a big fuss about it?
You know this forum is based on volunteers, so volunteer your talent or don't.
