...and philosophers who have not yet philosophized... and so on and so forth.

Did I miss the legitimate question you're referring to? I just saw someone suggest pointing hard questions to the CSF would be a good idea, and one sort-of opposing viewpoint. I'm on both sides, I'm glad there will be a legitimate place here on the forum we'll be able to point those overly optimistic requests for help toward, and I'm sure I'll still dive into a complex problem for free if it intrigues, same as always.

Then you did miss my point. Maybe a little more explanation is due. If there are Moderators here that don't fit the 'Guru Status' , why should they be able to answer the paid questions if forum experts who have not met the 'Guru Status' are not? Can you not see the hypocrisy in this? Unless that is, you feel all the mods are forum guru's.

If you really feel that way, then why are the forum experts locked out. I can see a lot of forum experts that would be able to answer just as well as the current forum guru's or mods/admin for that matter.
