I have been offline for a long time so I had not seen your reply until now.

Thank you for the clarification. My apologies if I was a bit over-sensitive.

Classy apology Leonard, and thanks for posting it to the list. I like to see professionals owning up to inadvertent misunderstandings, >apologizing and moving on. (Makes me wish my former boss was on the list, but I digress.) :-D

For the record, I see absolutely nothing wrong with making a living out of supporting RoboHelp or any tool or technology. Supporting >>tools and technology to the end of helping people is what tech writers are all about (as I see it).

If that is aimed at me, I have spent years voluntarily helping people. My income comes from being an employee of a company where I >>produce online help and other documentation.

"Pretty fast" only if (a), you are a help developer who has made a
career out of supporting RoboHelp (no need to mention any names of
people on this list) or (B), you were not a help developer working for
a startup, who inherited raw content in RoboHelp, needed to acquire a
HAT, and needed online help and printed documentation ASAP.
