         I'm not a lawyer, but it is my understanding
         that the big groups do that only because of
         the tremendous abuse that has occurred
         and they got into trouble. It is easier to
         require only class-credit interns than to
         keep records and control what happens.

         If you come to me and ask for instruction,
         you can either pay me or work it off. That
         is my call unless some suit in corporate
         HQ has nothing else to do that week. (Fortunately
         my HQ has no one in suits. Ray gave that up
         a long time ago. I wear suits on occasion, but
         rarely when working on a transmitter.)
