1045 COMMERCIAL PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANCY:
1046 - Please state you want to pay for consultancy at commercial rates,
1047 & outline your project duration, etc.
1049 - I Am Not A Help Desk ! I have no time to do that.
1050 Neither the FSF nor anyone else pays me to offer any such service.
1051 - I contribute source code to the public domain, but I sell my time,
1052 which is Not available as a public service.
1053 - I dislike phone calls from strangers seeking free advice on things
1054 I may well not know enough about. Post such questions to an Internet
1055 newsgroup or list (via a friend if you don't have Internet access)
1056 & let someone with time, best knowledge, & inclination answer.
1057 - If you must phone me, immediately ask for a few minutes advice
1058 "Free Of Charge" (else if you just swamp me in technicalities
1059 without first having the decency to let me know you'r Not a potential
1060 paying customer, you'r just encouraging me to hang up).
1061 - Give me an email address, so I can forward follow-up info.
1062 - Volunteer to phone back next week to hear subsequent info/solutions/
1063 questions I/friends/net have come up with meantime: Almost always the
1064 information I have instantly to hand is a small fraction of the
1065 useful information I could provide. I despise those who do not phone
1066 back later, after I've spent time researching their problem; but I
1067 refuse to also waste my money on long distance calls to inform them
1068 what I've previously wasted my time learning for their benefit.
1069 - Language: Make an effort, speak some English ! Use no German
1070 dialect, only Hoch Deutsch. Spell very slowly & clearly, I am Not
1071 good at fast German pronunciation, & don't recognise umlauts !
1072 - Numbers: Use Only single digits (think of keyboard input), use no
1073 inverted German digit pairs (EG no "eight hundred, two and thirty",
1074 & no convoluted French (EG "four twenties and fifteen") !
