Exactly.  We are all volunteers where.  Helping out, when, and if,
we can.  We do this in our *spare* time.   Sometimes I know the
answer and don't answer because I know it's a pretty simple question
that anyone can answer.  This encourages new people to get involved
with answering.

If something is very hard to do, perhaps the plan needs to be rethought.
Technology is not always the answer to good manual procedures.
