If you had left the response to just the blurb about GDI, then it would have been valid. But you used that opportunity to plug your product. That amounts to spam even though you cleverly disguised it as assistance.
So if a teacher benefits, in any way from his teaching, then his teaching is rendered inappropriate? Ridiculous. Even teachers in public schools get paid for their efforts (and most of them wouldn't show up if they didn't). My offer was to share and teach. Whether that develops into a long term business relationship, a friendship, or monetary gain (for either party) is beside the point. I offered to share with the guy what he said he wanted to know, using the best sample code I have available for the purpose. A reasonable - and very generous - offer.
Well, I find it contentious at best when you call people who work for money "whores" yet you can't seem to give assistance without being able to attempt profit from it. The main point of service is that you do it for no reward. This is a site to offer free help. There are other sites where you can make money for offering assistance, this isn't one of them.

This is simply not true. The main point of service is to serve - whether you profit from the service or not is a side issue. If you're serving well you'll at least benefit from the satisfaction of a job well done - or are we not allowed to extract enjoyment from our service either? Does Maunder provide a service to others with this website? Yes. Does he profit from it? Yes again. In fact, he's got all sorts of volunteers helping him make money; and he's always looking for more! I don't have a problem with that, because I understand that if he's providing a service, he deserves his wages. But you should have a problem with that, since you think "the main point of service is that you do it for no reward". Nonsense.

Only the first so many characters. The details of the offer would have fallen off the end - at least that's how the emails CodeProject sends me look.

Do you argue with every thing? Whatever. Spam and get your messages removed. You can try to justify it all you want, but it is wrong. Enjoy.

"Whatever?" Wrong answer. The correct response is: "I thought about what you said and you're right. One can serve and profit from that service at the same time; like Maunder does with his website. It is a side issue. I was wrong. Sorry."

Wrong! It was the right answer. The correct response is what I decide, and not what you decide, unless you want to talk to yourself.

HAhahahahaha! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: I don't think so. That I would not say. But you seem to quote the bible alot and I don't think Jesus would accept profiteering in service as a motive. Accidental is one thing, as you suggest, and this is why its recommended to place a link in your signature. But to pimp your stuff is altogether different.
