Yes. That's the way it goes. When I think of the fact how expensive I 
myself am when at work, then this is logical. Take the fact the as 
consultant I cost more than 100 Euro an hour and that answering a little 
more complex email takes 10-30 minutes.

So the result is - Support costs money. Help is for free, but only given, 
when I see that the other side already tried to solve the problems by 
reading available source himself first and the question is specific.
Like this most other open source programmer work.

Usually this also means, that if you did the initial searches, you get 
high quality answer which in the commercial field aren't naturally.

BTW: Regarding consultants - I can't by myself - Don't get enough money a 
month to rent me :-)
