Stackoverflow, Wikipedia, I'm sure there are others... sites where you can waste hours of your own (unpaid) time, creating content for the express purpose of helping others, only to have some asshole come along and delete it. I can't speak for anybody else, but the whole thing really diminishes my enthusiasm for contributing to these sites. Hell, I can't remember the last time I created a new Wikipedia article from scratch, after getting tired of the deletionist crap.
So yeah, I can totally understand Gregg's frustration. Who wants to volunteer hours trying to help others, just to receive a big "F you" for your efforts?
