I agree with what you say, but to the extent you help in anticipation of being helped in exchange, I do not. The willingness to help others in a chosen profession is one of the hallmarks of a professional.

Bruce, from my prior correspondence and reading of many of your postings, without any shame, I accuse you of helping purely out of a sense of professionalism, without any expectation of being helped in return.

Actually, I'm a cold, grasping and cunning manipulator, who takes on the persona the better to lure unsuspecting people into my schemes. I'm sure I could find lots of people to back me on this one ;->

But, whatever the case, for whatever it's worth, I do believe that reciprocity is one of those cases where ethics and self-interest coincide. And who'd miss the chance to be smug AND to help themselves?

The savage and honest are dead."
