"Paying it Forward" at SDN

Question

An SDN'er noticed a comment I made in one of my posts about how Uwe had set me straight about the handle_data_changed method of editable ALV's, and how easy they are to code once one understands how to use that method.
She asked me for some help on the same topic, so I'm sending her an example and we've made an appointment to talk it thru on the phone. 
I feel pretty good about this opportunity to "pay it forward" here at SDN.
If you don't know what "pay it forward" means, check out this movie.  It's sad but pretty good:

I'm always happy to give a helping hand.  Currently I'm mentoring a newbie in a different company -  though I'm doing it for his benefit, rather than for his company.  And I've no problem sharing information and solutions across company boundaries. ( So long as the clients on either side are happy, which they usually, but not always, are ).  In most jobs I've worked in, I've effectively being working myself out of a job, by freely sharing my knowledge and expertise - such that it is - and it's never done me any harm. 
But does "pro bono" cover doing work for commerical enterprises that aren't prepared to pay for sufficient expertise to handle their requirments?
