But, in all fairness, I've found that over the years the info I've offered up freely to those that sought me out has paid me back in spades. There are some that have been paying me back for me paying forward.

So, not all in this business fortunately are assholes like Nick.

Oh i agree, Bill. Its all all about separating the wheat from the chaff. There is much to be learned and good business to be done with the people who know what they are doing. These people will offer up good advice when pressed, but more often than not they arent the ones jumping at a chance to be on a panel. In my experience, the ones most eager to be on the panels are the ones most eager to sell you on something. and while it is a brilliant marketing tool, it isnt the information that needs to be disseminated on a Q & A panel to people just starting out, or looking for some sound advice, in my opinion

That being said, anyone who thinks they cannot learn from others, will never learn at all, but in this day and age you have to take every bit of information for what its worth.
