AO - Max security for a connected world

Eg, does that revenue or lack thereof affect the spending power of that $50?

No...it doesn't...$50 is $50, but $50 will buy you a lot more in Mexico than it would in the UK.

My online moniker should be an indicator where my political leanings lie...I find it somewhat hypocritical for a ' corporate site ' to expect it to get content for ' free ' or not pay ' fair value ' for it.

And I don't consider $50 and more especially a ' chance ' to win $50 anywhere close to ' fair value '.

I've spent the better part of my life volunteering and working with charities and in that vein you expect to do a lot of stuff for free...even in paid service...but I'm not so gullible as to work for free for General Motors...

as you say...as Intmon says...this is a corporate site...why in the world would you expect members to ' donate ' their time, their knowledge, and skills, for ' free '?

I find it very strange that a ' corporation ' would expect ' free ' services as if it were a Registered Charity...I find it even stranger that anyone would even contribute ' free ' services to a for-profit corporation.

You want the members to contribute content but you're unwilling to pay or pay fair market value for it...you are not a charity as you so well have pointed out on numerous occasions. You are a for-profit corporation.

The day I see General Motors run ADs for volunteers to contribute free time to the assembly-lines is the day I'll know the world has gone completely mad.

It makes no sense to me at all...and reminds me of P.T.Barnum
