No personal experience with this but it sounds like a prostitute's view of
the world. In other words what's in it for me? The only thing that matters
is how much you can get out of them right? Other things like what's the right way
to deal with other people (hint: making slanderous accusations and attacking
somebody who has participated in discussions with you over a long period
isn't a nice pastime) or how to be a responsible decent human being don't
count. It all comes down to what do I get and how much does it cost
me. Sad...

Sorry, I can't relate to that kind of thinking. I can understand how people
can get that way though. I guess they have treated programmers like hookers
long enough some people can get their reality bent and lose sight of what's
important and become mercenary and it takes over their whole life.
