Re: Tired of giving out technical advice for free

[Deborah Kluge <dkluge -at- comcast -dot- net>]

Emily, I get many similar inquiries -- at least five each day
from people looking for free advice and information.  I have a
stock answer that I send back:

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website.
Unfortunately, the question that you've asked would require
considerable time and research to answer.  Please understand that
I can't take time away from my business to do this research for
free.  If you would like to engage my services on a paid basis, I
would be happy to assist you.  You can reach me via e-mail or by
phone at 333-555-1234.

Kind Regards,
Deborah
