Average person on here views those hours as billable if they were to do it themselves, when they make decisions about what to do, or alternatives (opportunity cost). Maybe he should charge them consulting rates for this PDF (and not take their -- correction: an -- email. The horror). It's only because this is HN that it's even a discussion.
