A valid point. Even at work when dealing with highly-paid professionals |
| 10 |
there is a general attitude of "come to me with solutions - not |
| 11 |
problems." That doesn't mean that you have to ignore problems that you |
| 12 |
can't personally solve, but it is a general mindset that is likely to |
| 13 |
get you a lot farther in life in general. When dealing with volunteers |
| 14 |
it is even more critical. |

Nobody around here OWES anybody anything. For the most part everybody |
| 17 |
is happy to pitch in where they can and do favors for each other. |

That's a great thing - it makes working on gentoo a lot nicer than most |
| 19 |
paid jobs. However, it also means that a thank you goes a long way... |
