Bad thinking?  I feel I have an obligation to my profession, and 
believe me, I am not paid for contributing to this list or other 
forums.  To me, it's an ethical thing to do, and can be fun.

When I do presentations at NANOG or write RFCs, these are freely 
available -- and should be.

But I would also argue that I have a right to an income. I am good at 
designing networks and networking products, and I am also good at 
explaining things.  Are you suggesting I should do design consulting 
free?  Then why should I not be able to charge for some educational 
materials?  Let's put it this way--what's the incentive to develop 
free things beyond a certain point?

I think you will find that most ethical professionals, in any 
profession, both give back to their profession and charge for their 
work.

What do you feel you should, and should not, be paid for?
