Well kinda related, for the past few months I've been making a point of donating occasionally to those sites where I have had valuable info or got a valuable download or something.
I usually have a standard amount of $10. There was only one site I got something from that I wanted to donate where the guy refused donations even if you email him and say 'how can I donate'. One or two sites invite you to donate to a charity that is meaningful to the site-owner instead which I have done.
I also recently read a post by someone somewhere - not on here I don't think - by a guy who has made it his new 'habit' to make sure every month he donates $20 to the various geeks out there who give free help to many people on forums and the like. I'm thinking of following suit in a more organized fashion when I next have a 'goal revaluation' exercise in the summer.
