Yes, I apologize, there was no need to make this personal.

I do feel that my point remains though; there is obviously a large group 
of people, that for whatever reason decide that they can and will 
contribute.  I don't think that in 5 or 10 or however many years every 
one of these people (or even the majority) will wake up and say "wait, 
I'm doing this for free?" and stop contributing; the community is there, 
and thriving, and will remain so regardless of the economics affecting 
any given individual or business.
