The most important thing is the angle. I ask for help on the tech forum. Many people give suggestions. Other offer their services. Others just tell me that the problem is sitting in my chair.

At the end of the day, I look at the replies. If they appear in need of therapy, I just ignore. them. I have stopped mining in radioactive waste. I have stopped trying to filter out BS in polluted waters.

This leaves the paying teachers. The paying teachers naturally need to offer more than just their price. But I view the solitications the same way I do when getting advise in a bar. I sleep over it. Wake up sober. Do some exercise. Drink my coffee and start up research. Limited time offers can take a walk.
