Requests or Questions - Do you think there is a difference?

This is an answer forum. I don't do things for people on here either. If they can't do it themselves, they can pay someone to do it, but they're not getting free work from me.

I am in the same train of thought as you are.

I used to manipulate and photoshop images for people here but then one day a kid wanted me to manipulate his graduation pictures for him and I was hit with the Virtumonde Trojan.

I don't do it anymore without being paid (somebody's paying for all this virus software I had to buy).

Education is what I do and I also answer questions by the literal understanding of the question... if you want to know if I know someone who takes images of landfills, I'll answer 'yes' or 'no' with no further information... you didn't ask for a name, just if I know someone.

There are a lot of useless questions coming into Yahoo and they aren't filtering out stupid - so why should I?!

Thanks for being someone who shares my perspective. I was beginning to think I was alone.

I sometimes will do things for people. It is just something I decide on an individual basis. If it is not something extremely time consuming or difficult and I have the time, I don't mind it once in a while. I don't, however, waste one second on some moron practically orderiing people to make his crap "Mahh Space pix kewl like dis" without even so much as a thank you.

I think it should be a "Question & Answer" forum only. There is a major difference between asking a question and requesting that someone do something.

I keep just answering questions not doing.Thats what the booklet and the tutorials that come with programs are for.They're too cheap to buy the program get a job.BTW I'm still learning

If there are people willing to take care of both requests or questions, why not?
