People are naturally curious. We learn by asking questions. Exploring and discovering and the internet provides us with a means to communicate. A tool with which we can can explore. A resource that has opened doors to opportunities that will add value to whatever we do. Opportunities that can be unlocked simply by sharing our personal experience and know how.
We lose nothing by sharing information and experience. To the contrary there is everything to gain.
