Hum, good question. I did think about that back in the days. Until the day when i enter college.
I remember the first day our instructor told us "i don't want to see any competition here. I want everyone to share what have they discover. There is the fastest way to improve."
Maybe this is we are tranditional chinese, if you don't selfish, you will lose.
I have entered different forum, some are hosted by chinese, some are hosted by other rase. The different is here. Host by un-chinese, ppl will help without hiding. Any kind of question you posted. They will try the best to help you. I've been there for awhile, i posted many questions there. And they really did give me a great hand. After that, whenever ppl post a question and if i am able to answer. I feel proud of myself that i can help. I never think that they will get better than me anymore.
Compare to those (not this one, this forum is very differnt) chinese forum. For example, a guy ask "How do i install maya?" Then the reply will be "why dont you give me a copy of Maya, after i figure it out, i will teach you." This is very unfriendly and selfish reply. If you don't know, i rather you not post anything.
Think about this way. When you are able to help, basically you are strong then the one who ask already. You give them advice, (just advice)they will not able to get as great as you are. And always you are 1 step ahead of them. so, don't worry to help.
