Show me where I said "he should not get help," please.
And, just to make it really easy on you, I'll repost, in their entirety, what I think are the two pertinent posts: (To make it super easy on you, I've also highlighted the "invisible" questions for you

Ya know...
You're a great player and part of me wants to say bestest of luck, I hope you find a sponsor here, and all that.
And part of me -- after looking at all 14 of your posts in over two years as an AZ member and not finding a single post that remotely approaches helping other board members with a tip, a suggestion, a shot explanation, an aiming system(?!), a trip report, or at least an entertaining story from your tournament experiences or matching up -- just wants to say, "eh."
I don't know. Maybe you're a regular on the "Ask the Pro" AZ forum and I just missed it.
Maybe not.

you should never come
to the tribal camp fire
and ask for help
empty handed

Scott, like I said, I'm kinda stradling the fence on this. OTOH, I completely agree with you. But part of me believes that if you're going to come to the group and ask for financial assistance, you should, at some level, be a functioning (read:contributing) member of the tribe, if for no other reason than getting a more favorable outcome.
Just as a general issue, everyone rails against the treatment of pros here and moans about why they don't participate more; how they are driven away; etc. etc; along with much beating of the collective chest. But, if as you say, the pros here aren't contributing much in the first place, what do they really bring to the AZ discussion table? What are we really losing if they don't hang here? I guess not much then, except for their occasional passing of the hat.
Everyday, all the amateurs here bat a slew of interesting and intriguing and down right silly ideas and issues concerning pool, back and forth and then, just for good measure, back and forth a few more times. But wouldn't it be great if these pros, whom everyone seems to long to have a round, actually contributed something to the discussions and could take the give and take that goes with intelligent people having divergent and valid view points on the same subject?
Just my 2cents.

Sorry, I was right in the middle of posting a thank you to you, and my computer crashed. I've just spent the last 6 hours, getting it fixed (with the EXTREMELY competent help of AzB poster IT Guy & G-Girl...if you have computer problems, they can fix it! :thumbup: Thanks Jim & Germaine!). Thanks for joining the backer group. I have you down for $100.
