Of course you have to consider the "no good deed goes unpunished" scenario whereby you own the problem forever. So be sure going in you say "Ill do it for free this time but next time it's going to cost"

Well, even if it *shouldn't*, it sometimes *does*. I find I have better luck planning my life around actuality than "should". And certainly, doing something for free gets you additional good will you didn't have before. Or somebody "owes you" and that might have some value. Every situation is difference, of course. But sometimes it's quite valuable to do something for free. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
