anytime i do anything for anyone on a computer i request money or cookies...i don't give out help for free anymore because they don't appreciate the time and effort that goes in.

Sure its easy for us to run some scanners on a computer and maybe manual regedits, but if our work goes for free it is unappreciated.  If they have to give something in return, they think twice about making us feel like jerks for it.

Or at least that is how I have found it lately.  People seem to be more thankful when they give money to me for making their Personal Confuser less confusing.
