I am here running ChotoCheeta.com not for any "thank you" or any other return value... Its as simple as that, its the urge to share free knowledge which drives me to keep ChotoCheeta.com online !!! It is really free information, as long as you do NOT plan to redistribute it by putting some price on it !!! The word FREE means FREE, I really dislike the fact to attach the return value like a "Thank you" or a back link to it. No, it is <b>FREE</b>, therefore, that "Thank you" is also not required... Having said that, I would also say, yes I am too a human, so any comments to any article is always welcome :) Hello Rohan,

Many have even forgotten use of words such as "please", "thank you","hi", "hello", "welcome". Its sad to see a scenario. Of course, what I said above, you will understand it better if you yourself have been involved in enlightening others.

You have some valid points, but you know why people copy the content, not to distribute and increase the awareness but to earn some easy bucks. With so much duplicate content they are just polluting the internet, and making it difficult to find what the real and genuine source of information.

Nothing is free, nothing ever was ! We all expect something in return, whether its backlinks or hits or just plain recognition or acknowledgement. But what is reprehensible, is when others pick up stuff from your blog and push it as their own, elsewhere. Like you, I too allow my content to be used as they wish, but I would expect, not payment, but atleast a simple credit to me, as a backlink. That, is still free, imo. But then each to his own ! So, continue doing what you believe in most, without bothering or worrying what others are doing. For knowledge grows, only with sharing. :) Welcome to the real world buddy !

You help many people in each and every possible way. I am a witness. I have learned many things from you and the biggest achievement is that "You changed my attitude". Yeah! Do you remember when you was using gtalk once, unknowingly I was very cold to you. From that day, I offer help to everybody on net. Don't give a damn to what people are doing out there. Just want to say that I am lucky to met a person like you. Your identity don't demand respect, your identity command it. Take it as you have passed the real message to me.
