Brian – thanks for stopping by. One thing about “taking” is this: You can do it effectively if people trust you.

No question about giving I'm all for it, it is interesting that over many years watching takers enter a network event and try to take, take take, they inevitably find themselves being shunned and even ignored. Giving is almost devine and we as humans seem to have a built in sensor that lets us know who the good guys are. Enjoyed all of the comments thanks for sharing Brian

I think you probably answered your own question with in-post comment, mate – hopefully it's seen as a two-way space, where I genuinely do care about everyone's views (even if they're bashing me!)

Half of the word “community” is “unity” – there's none of that if you don't care about everyone else. I'd like to think I care, and that comes across so that it helps build a real “we're all here together” feeling.

We're only missing out if we don't evolve. How has asking favors of your readers strengthened your community?

Intriguing post, mate (and thanks for the kind shout, by the way – and yes, there are some very kind souls over that direction).

I wonder if it's a “man thing”? Do we get brought up to believe that we're the hunter / gatherers, and so we shouldn't accept help unless we really need it?

Perhaps. Just means we're missing out though

Why do we fight it so? Because we live within a grand illusion, thinking that we are separate from one another.
There's a concept in Buddhism called “Dependent Origination” which essentially says that everything exists in relationship to everything else. In other words, we're all letters in a massive bowl of cause and effect alphabet soup!

Oh, I love Cheap Trick!
