I keep seeing this recurring pattern where you say Dan helps for free etc, I'm not sure if you're aware of this but this isn't a "non-profit website". Yes Dan helps ppl but that also fuels his site which in turn is his livelihood!
It's far worse for me.
There's a whole class of people that believe because I do this for a living and they opened up credit cards using my links that I
owe it to them to give them an answer at their beck and call.
Never mind that they would've opened up those cards regardless or may not have even known about the benefits if not for DD. It's not that it's not appreciated (of course it is, this is my livelihood), it's that I get 1,000+ such communications on a daily basis and many of them wind up being angry at me for not helping.
As it is I'm at a computer for 15-18 hours a day, if I actually responded to everyone personally I wouldn't even be able to sleep for a few hours...
Never mind that every 4th cousin and their roommate is angry for not telling them about xyz deal.
C'est la vie I suppose.
