- 1the problem in your argument is you have issues with giving answers "for free"...right there, first paragraph.dde– dde2009-07-13 12:41:00 +00:00Commented Jul 13, 2009 at 12:41
- 4@dde: Don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems with sharing what I know and helping people in general. I think my SO profile pretty much proves this point. The thing I want to point out is that SO is not a place for people to come and have their job done by others. It's a place they should come primarily to share what they know and learn stuff they need to get their job done on their own. Uploading a ZIP file will essentially make SO like some freelance programming Websites sans the money (BTW, I won't be participating in them anyway, so the issue is not being free).mmx– mmx2009-07-13 14:31:35 +00:00Commented Jul 13, 2009 at 14:31

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
