Supposing you, as a doctor, decide to research something in order to
manage a patient.
Going to the Web you find nothing much of use or note.
You therefore make searches in other ways, coming in the end to have a
small set of notes which have satisfied your need at that time.
IMHO you now have a duty to place those on the Web.
Detail
-------
COnsider, you were the first person to wish for the Web to include an
article on tht matter.
(Or the existing resources are so hard to find as to be outside th
euniverse of discourse, we will not consider for th emoment poor search
skills)
Having made that decision - that there should be an article, and then
gathered the material for the article, you should share it with the
community whose knowledge you tried to share before.
A cry from the back asks "What about payment?"
-----------------------------------------------=======
Get the material up there. I will refrain from discussing ethical
obligations and community spirit, and mention micro-payments instead.
One day soon you may hope that each hit on your page will trickle
another 10c into your on-line bank account, and if you get enough up
there it will be your ISP paying you, not the other way around.
