I heard of a progammer who charged a company a couple of days labor to write a program that would allow him to post messages on the fly (WAIT WINDOW). Not to nice...The point being even your knowledge of how something works is worth something to someone. Even if its some common fact that gets you through the day to day operations.Everything you use is part of your skills. IMO if you remain ethhical you can sleep better at night.
