You're right, ivanb, sometimes I jump the gun and seem like English is my second language.
It's been my experience from other forums that a separate Request section is rarely visited by anyone except those who want something. In other words, most people don't go there with the specific idea of, "gee, I think I'll go here and try to help some newbie find something."
From what I've seen here over the years is that a lot of people join as non-paying members, make requests before contributing anything, and after someone gives them what they want, they disappear; until they want something else.
Just my opinion, but I think a Request section would spawn more one-and-done members.
