RE: New TECHWR-L Poll Question

["Jane Carnall" <jane -dot- carnall -at- digitalbridges -dot- com>]

Along with a hundred or so of my co-Techwhirlers, I chose "Yes, on selected
projects or for selected causes"... and I did have in mind situations like
last night's, when I was out to dinner with my parents (my mother's 66th
birthday). My mother has a new mobile phone. My father has a new laptop. I'm
invited round to dinner next Thursday to explain each to each. <g> Hmmm...
does "dinner" count as "direct compensation" though? My father paid last
night, I left the tip. <g>

well..."

As a tech writer, do you or would you volunteer your
professional skills without direct compensation?

* Yes, whenever I see an opportunity
* Yes, on selected projects or for selected causes
* Yes, but only if I will be compensated indirectly
* No, except in very unusual circumstances
* No, under any circumstances
* Other/none of the above
