Is it just me or after staring for a couple minutes does the tempo seem to accelerate just a bit?

Selfishness. Entitlement.

If you need "incentive" to train someone, you should not be training anyone. I/most do it to help the trainees to become more proficient and improve the quality of game play.

Seems to me the incentive would be from improved game play with folks knowing what they are doing.

By that rationale teachers should be unpaid for their time.

Not really on a fundamental level. One person knows a certain skill shows other person said skill.

There are an awful lot of moms and dads out there who volunteer their time for coaching, helping in classes etc. They don't get paid. I think the point the OP is making is that there is some gratification in helping someone else.

I would agree with this. People don't always need a 'reward' to do something to help someone else, beyond feeling good about themselves for helping out.

Stop with the Alt-F4 jokes.
