Its always nice to be there to help people. The sad thing is to encourage people to waste others' valuable time and use them for their knowledge to make sure you are getting everything you need yet you have no intention of actually supporting that company.
We all want to save money (there's no such thing has having enough right?)....but morals and just human kindness have to play a role as well. Take into consideration that you are wasting someone elses' valuable time when you have no intention of working with them or supporting the company they work for. No one likes to be taken advantage of or used.
I'm a consumer, a retailer and an dive industry professional. I believe what goes around comes around in this world. And one last note, I think its important to remember, especially in this industry, that these forum boards we all rely on for information are heavily supported by sponsors and industry professionals that spend their time to help others out, and without supporting them in return...sites like Scubaboard and Wetpixel would really lose their value and may not even be able to stay live!
