No, I certainly don’t. But, then, I’m no role model of Jewish/Human behavior. I’m merely attempting to learn about and from other people how they see an issue that I’ve thought about.

I mean no offense and I apologize if the issue annoys anyone.

Quite right. It’s an issue of determining the right thing to do.

What’s a reasonable balance between the level of benefit one may get from someone/something and an obligation – if any – to give something back – even something intangible, like saying “Thank You” or reading an advertisement – in return?
