As Ken and I agree on, LUG's should provide training and you should
charge what the market will bear.
To use the anology of restaurants. Some customers like their food in
small portions, very tastefully arranged and nice surroundings and don't
mind paying $100 for a pork chop by another name.
At the other end of the scale, Macca's sell something they claim is food
for a few dollars and some people prefer that.
Some people are prepared to pay a fair price for what they get and some
of these people can afford to pay top dollar and why shouldn't SLUG take
their money?
Some people think the world owes them everything and they should get
what they want and SLUG should tell them to GET F&*CKED!.
And for others, SLUG also allows you to wash up in return for your
dinner.
