      …so? Is this just whooshing me? That sounds like an extremely cynical, transactional take; is someone complementing you at work always just a 3D game theory value proposition to get help on next quarter’s EPS report? This is just a lighthearted wholesomeness community, I really don’t think they were claiming angelic altruistic intent anywhere?
