I answered why that is in subsequent emails.  Reading all the replies
you got would be good.

personal != personnel.  You keep making that typo, or if it isn't a
typo I really have no idea what you mean.

Anyway, I said I interpreted the question as such because the word
personnel is defined as:

"The body of persons employed by or active in an organization, business,
or service."

employed being the key word.  Words mean things.  Volunteers are not
employees.

> That's... Interesting to say the least..

Not really.  Employed and volunteer contributors are all part of the
same community.  Eric's reply also pointed out that the question seemed
to be posed rather pointedly.  If you meant to ask some other question
other than what I've interpreted, please clarify.
