I've been giving my time, freely, for free for almost ten years, and 
before the Internet, to chess organisations.

I _always_ listened to my chessplayers and tried to give the service 
they wanted, and I always try to give good advice to computer users.

The value of the time I've given is way more than RH would have got had 
I merely bought one every retail pack they ever released, and is well 
comparable to that given by many OSS authors.

So far as I can judge it, much the same is true of Jo, and long timers 
will recall names such as Tony Nugent, Thom Pain, Jo Klemmer who've also 
  given years of service.
