I agree. I know the creators of this site are working hard to "make it known" to the masses and hopefully in doing so it will also attract more writers. Because the writers work for free, the only incentive to contribute would either be to gain public recognition, extra experience or just out of the love to write.

Considering, however, that psychologists make about $100 an hour (regardless of what the patients actually shell out as a co-payment with their HMO), I think Dr. Balis gets by.
