Because you think that I'm not giving my own time helping people solving real life issues? If so I'd suggest you do a quick background check on myself.

I do get offence, though, when theoricians try to tell me how to do the things they never were able to do themselves because they get so blinded by concepts over practicalities. Dont get me wrong -- there are a good bunch of individuals with practical sense in academia, but they usually aren't those who get most credits.
