In Response To: Re: Is "giving" bad or suspicious? (JohnAbercrombie)

I did not write my comments carefully. I didn't mean to imply anything negative about the people that sell their kayak designs. I agree they are a great asset to the paddling community and we have all learned from them. Most of them freely support other kayakers and builders. What I intended to comment on are people that are self centered to the degree that they think that anyone that does something for free has other selfish motives or does inferior work. I feel there are a lot more giving people in this world than consumers, it is just that an efficient consumer can consume more than a dozen givers can produce.
