In reply to Jeff Chandler.

Everybody has profit on their brain, after all it is hard to pay for your shopping in kindness. I have been very long time on the internet and had seen enough "non profit" enterprises die because the people operating them had ran out of steam/free time and there was no external incentive for them to just keep doing the same thing.. Is it bad that people are getting paid to answer questions on wordpress.org forum or to contribute to core?

In the great tradition of social networks the 7400 number by itself has no meaning.you should impress me instead with how fast a question is answered and the quality of the answer.Is it really faster and better then the answers you will get on wordpress.org? many time on wordpress.org a search will bring you directly to an answer and there is no need to actually ask anything.

I have no problem with the amount of money the Zuck has, but helping him get richer by serving people that are too lazy to create a wordpress.org account without getting anything in return is not in my book, I am glad to see that there are other people that care enough about the Zuck to help him stay rich.

Just to make it clear. People should do whatever they want and I am the last person that will tell them what they should do, but I take issue with this emphasize on laziness instead of impact or quality. Quality is getting wasted because no one can search for past answers and impact is low because no one searches for past answers. If those experts have the time they should help with wordpress.org where there answers will have a long lasting impact.
