Webpage, own fora, and all the time for mails, messages in fora, reviews and all the other things! Is this important? It's not important ... Important are the result! Example: You help a person in a question about programming. The persons is animated and create an engine! The engine is stronger and stronger and you have interest to use this engine for your own test vs. your engine. You get a little bit back! Or you animated a person which created a webpage. You can find here a lot of Movei results ... You get a little bit back! All what we have today is the result by a good animation! Companys give with commercial products persons a lot of fun and the administration from a chess forum, CCC is the best example! The own help for others is only "to give a little bit back" and in my opinion not a reason not to pay for a good idea! Bob Hyatt or other persons which spent hours of time daily have fun with it and like the idea. Can't speak for Bob (you have add the name in your message) but I am sure that persons which give a lot of help will pay for CCC. Best Frank
