No qualm there. When I find myself in that situation I can: 1) Stew and be mad, or 2) Study on my own to correct my deficiency, or 3) Get with the guy who knows more than I do and get him to educate me. Most times, as it should be, I pay for that education. So far, I know of few other options. That said, I have had many people fly to my airport to have a problem solved. Solve THEIR problem with my expertise. In 100% of the cases where they have offered to pay me for my time and expertise, I have declined payment. It's not my business. It's my pleasure. In cases where the fellow has expected me to do this for free, I have charged him. Who needs who in this case? You will notice that George has offered to have a group of you educated -- for FREE. Just how far do you expect him to go? Should he pay YOU to come learn?? Nahh, I didn't think you really meant that!
