Kynn,

You are not a fool! You are a respected peer to whom many of us on this
list look up to and appreciate the time and effort that you spend in helping
all of us learn about web accessibility.

I know money makes many things in life easier but if it wasn't for people
like you to whom unselfishly make their knowledge available at a decent
price or freely available, many of us would not have the opportunity to
learn. Especially myself!

Kindly,

Michael Goddard

Please remember the inherent nature of the Internet is one of knowledge
sharing. It's original intent was to be a technology that allowed physics
researchers and professors to communicate over long distances and
peer-review each others' papers and dissertations.

So, while it is a good thing to share your knowledge, it's very clear to me
that not enough people are reciprocating that act. Too many people are
taking for granted the hard work it takes to share what you know, write
detailed document or manual, and post it online for other people to use --
free of charge. Too many people are taking and not giving back.

So, thank you Kynn, for so unselfishly sharing your knowledge. You are one
of the good ones.
