because the "incentive structure" of this site encourages helping people, because helping people helps you, maybe it is "FUBar-specific" enough to belong here anyway. (again, the preface is longer than the main body.)

You're not guaranteed to get the help you want from people if you go out there and help them, too. You are pretty much guaranteed not to, if you don't.

(This is directed at no one and everyone, very definitely including me.)
