Okay, let me, as the #4 or 5 handbook contributor, say my piece.
Yes, in the beginning, I was disappointed that my name wasn't attached to
the pages. However, as I contributed more and more, I started getting
direct emails from people wanting things - for free.
Yes, I give free advice, but there has to be a limit. Like most of us, I
need money too. Answering those emails eats into my billable time. Looking
at someone else's web site means I'm not looking at my paying customer's
site.
And, like Angie said, some of the pages I write are either for me to
remember or are one time things that are intended to help others. I'm not
particularly interested in continuing to answer questions on those pages.
So, I no longer want credit for the pages I write. I can't afford it. If
Lee Hunter (#1 contributor) weighs in, I'll bet he doesn't want it either.
