  It's one thing to share years of knowledge to benefit others and 
ourselves , then there are folks whom
play a game to use others up and throw them away , " Only" for their 
selfish personal  gain.
Sometimes , the more things change , the more they remain the same. Indeed 
some folks *suffer* from
a desire to help others in the experience called learning. Everyone needs 
help from time to time, except
those that confuse Help with Take , purely for $$.
