You are correct.
There is always that cold barrier of the Noob's thanklessness and even resentment/jealousy to be surmounted.
A task hardly worth the effort. Indeed an impossibility.
Bagg's is currently reading Thomas More's "Utopia".
In a letter to his friend, of the publishing of Utopia, More ( who was very careful with his words in public) has this surprizing comment:
"To tell you the truth though, I still have not made up my mind if I shall publish it at all. Tastes differ widely and some people are so humourless, so uncharitable, and so absurdly wrong-headed that one would probably do far better to relax and enjoy life than worry oneself to death trying to instruct or entertain a public which will only despise one's efforts, or at least feel no gratitude for them.....They are like rude guests who after a splendid dinner-party go home stuffed with food,without saying a word of thanks to their host."
