Question, why is it that some listers can sell their EFI related products

comes to mind for ex. but there are others. <br>

<font size=2>But, in a nut shell TK, and a few others have brought to the
list, rather then sell what they learned from the list. Some guys

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