No.
I am suggesting that you can set up a Patreon account if you wish and people like me and others can be your patron if they / we choose to.
Do you understand the model at Patreon, Don?
The model is not about "asking for payments or money to answer questions.,.. that is totally the wrong / old / not modern tech Patreon thinking"
The model is based on patronage, admiration and sharing and caring. That is what a patronage system is.
For example, if Don Cragun had a Patreon account I would be your patron and would send you money each month because I admire your work; not as a transaction based payment like you seem to suggest in your reply.
Hope this helps.
