Paying for expertise

Roy talks about Chris Pirillo charging for his technical expertise:

"Paying 27$ for that one and getting an answer 3 minutes later with 4 sentences - I'd feel cheated."

I dunno, $27 to have an answer in 3 minutes would probably be very worth it to those in dire need of a rapid answer.  Not handy for your standard "Hey, what is a web service" type of question, but maybe for a specific question on a specific problem you're very stuck on.  If your time is worth, let's say, $30 per hour, and Chris's answer saves you >1 hour of your time, then it might be worth it.  If it's 4 sentences that solves your problem, then that's probably good enough.

I think the whole pay for support idea from developers is hurting the community. Hide you source, don't hide your brain.

Marcie I have a look at Chris Pirillo page.
I don't want to be rude, but the picture of a guy stand up full page on the site asking for money is a bit obscene for me.

It would be better for him to have a picture of a datagrid in action than him ;-).

He could also look like a beggar, please I am a starving consultant, give me some cents (european)
