Oh no they don't. Judging by their attitude these people are in complete denial as to how they are perceived by others.

> Experts Exchange Experts are unpaid volunteers who give of their time to answer questions on the site.

Right. So if they are unpaid volunteers wouldn't they rather help the community and provide the same answers at stackoverflow?

If I volunteer to serve soup on Saturday in a soup kitchen to the homeless, why in the world would I want to have some third company take my soup and sell it to the same homeless people and keep the profit.

And then of course, why would they name their site something that sound exactly like "expert sex change"? Wasn't their domain listed as r-rated in some porn filtering software a while back.

I do actually. 9000 answers at EE (since 1998), 2.5K flair at SO (since last year)

1998? I guess if you are just as good, you should have had over 32000 answers then not just 9000 ;-)

Besides who cares to know if hp driver from '98 is compatible with windows Me anymore.
