It's pretty simple for me. As long as I get more pleasure out of the site than displeasure, and I'm learning and helping others in some few ways, I'll stick around. And, if I stick around I will pay my way and not be a freeloader.
As for the unpleasantness here . . . . well, I've waded through some pretty bad mud and swamp to get to a good duck hole. And, when I have looked back at those experiences, I said to myself, "The gain was worth the pain".
I see most people as fitting into one of three categories: pessimistic, stoic, or optimistic. I'm in the "the glass if half full" bunch.
