Reply To: JS to delete old style and replacing it wih new one.

Hi,
While I certainly agree to the concept of being generous (as I try to always be), I am not disturbed by the idea of offering paid-for services to certain conditions. The reason is that sometimes people, naively or worse willingly will ask for huge piece of scripts that will ease their work. I do a difference between one asking for advice in his own development effort (this one should be encouraged and helped by community) and the one just saying, I need this please (and now).
At this stage, it should be everyone conscience to either deliver for free (I do it more than often) or say you know what, the script i could write and that you are not trying to develop on your own could save you a lot of efforts and money, so that would be fair to get some money out of it (I help you, it helps me).
The only thing that annoy me is when those offers of services are strongly and publicly repeated all over the place. When I do on a few occasions, I do send private message and I don’t judge the emitter. I just offer, you take it or leave it, no problem.
And eventually, we, developers, have regular clients who can pay a lot for scripts and I don’t think they would enjoy seeing the same code delivered for free. So clearly when I provide some code, it’s either because emitter tried something first, or the expectation is low, or that I am in a really good mood (i.e. all stars aligned).
