Exactly! Tom is the head of the company that gets paid by
its employees/contractors for the right to work for Tom's
company.

Nah, Tom's busy sleeping under the tree. Huck is actually
doing the work.

Apparently. And they actually get people to pay them for
doing that. Not me, of course. I can do it for free!

True, but isn't it tax-free?

You pay them money in order to work? Who is the head of that
company, Huckleberry Finn?

Well, unless he ever has or hopes to have any business
referrals as a result of the work he does here, in which
case I'd call it a marketing expense.

I've had offers from websites that, if I pay them a lot of
money (between $500 and $1000 a month) they'll allow me to
write a legal column and to answer email questions for those
visit the site. They certainly wouldn't pay me anything,
but the idea would be for me to get business as a result of
my activities there.

So then, I suppose he can't deduct related expenses on his
1040? (grin)

And that we, as users, don't let him know nearly enough how
much we appreciate his time and effort!

Don't forget to mention that the moderator spends a heck of
a lot of time and effort doing all that stuff, and isn't
paid a penny for his efforts.
