I've noticed alot of complex regular expression problems posted here that require
alot of thought.

Should there be monetary compensation for such complex solutions?

No. That would violate the non-commercial nature of Usenet.

No, we're getting older and the topic has
enough payback in itself,

Nope. No one's obligated to reply or spend the time if they don't wish
to. So, no harm, no foul. Besides, it can be interesting and open you
up to new things you've not considered before, or even learn something
yourself in the process of helping others.

I think *expecting* compensation is a problem.

On the other hand, if the querent is so appreciative of an answer that
he or she wants to throw some money at a helpful person, I see nothing
wrong with that.

(Yeah, I know. I'll believe it when I see it.)
