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.
