FWIW, I did offer to pay for his time in reading and responding to my emails. I did not want to take advantage of him and did not want him to feel resentful. His responses were always brief, so likely not too time consuming. It is very clear that he reads my emails in great detail by what he remembers and brings up. He has also told me that he reads them more than one. He never answered me when I offered to pay him for his extra time.
