If you believe that to be true, you aren't paying attention. I've done
exactly that more than once. Anytime I believe the job someone is
trying to do requires custom programming or similar work, I'll discuss
why I believe that in my answer on -questions (so that if I'm wrong
and a simple solution exists, someone has a chance to point it out),
and end with an offer to discuss my doing it for them off-line.

You also seem to be implying that Ted is withholding answers in the
hope that it will increase his income. I think you owe him another
apology.
