On the contrary, it makes perfect sense to me.
It's like teaching, really. Have you ever noticed that a lot of learning takes place when you teach another person? Not always the pure subject matter (because we'd tend to already know it, that's why we're teaching) but some new part of it, or how true or correct it is, or even in something they say back to us as they try to learn, we realize another aspect...
To me helping, teaching, empathizing, they all blend together to create a real two-way street.
So it does make sense to me. Very much so. I find the more I help here, the more I'm helped indirectly, and in surprising and unique ways I never expected.
But I won't hesitate to ask directly, either. Just seem to need to less and less - right now.
Glad you're still around - just as much as you feel good about :-)
