Varuna-

Your analysis that the poster is angry needs to be adjusted
What Gregor is speaking of is that many of us on this list provide advice 
for free
Those of us (who are not independently wealthy) have an immediate need to

Since free advice does not either pay bills or buy food  then employing the 
algorithm Free first time...next time an Invoice
seems like a more than fair compensation algorithm
