I think I see both sides of this one, and feel both are partly correct. Dave DND offers to help 'fellow members' and says he feels only this applies only to 'bona fide' members, who give as well as take. But Alex feels that he is being 'victimised' as he is a 'newbie' and feels unable to 'give' as Dave DND wants.
I think, personally, that Dave means, 'people who just want help for free' not people who regularly visit the site, contribute (not just knowledge!) but also get involved in the discussions, join in the banter, etc. You'd be suprised how sometimes, you can help people with other areas, as in computers, general knowledge. Help comes in many different forms.
Dave probably just doesn't want people 'freeloading', ie: logging in, asking for help, then not coming back until they have another problem.
This is the way I read this, tho' please correct me if I am wrong!! :-/
