I'll share the product all day.

But the knowledge? You've gotta earn it.

I've shared many "family" or "special" recipes on this site. Never figured that there was value in keeping something like this secret -- else how are others going to enjoy it?

You haven't EARNED the answer to that question yet, you lazy philistine! Maybe with months and decades worth of blood and sweat you will finally be worthy of that answer.
