Will you scratch my back if I scratch yours ? I've got an itch I can't reach. Lol

Yes, I will, but that type of agreement sometimes comes with a hitch; So often (and this is our training), people will offer something as a gift, which is actually an unwritten, unspoken trade agreement packaged to LOOK like a gift. You DO present your offer as a trade agreement. I accept. But I would also offer you the gift of scratching your back without an expectation of getting something in return. In other words, my scratching your back is unconditional. You can have it just for the asking. There's no charge. Moral: Beware of hidden agendas and Trojan horses. Sometimes when someone offers a glad hand, it's because he has something up his sleeve. (I realize my comments are probably more than you were looking for. They were just something that entered my mind when I read your question.)

Yes, the traditional exchange of loyalties ... but also what one can't do for themselves. It's often expressed as an expectation for a successful community. Like the grocer who buys insurance from the insurance salesperson who buys groceries at the grocer's store.
If the grocer instead purchased insurance via the internet for the best value for the $$$, the saving could then be reflected in lower prices for the groceries, thus making it a better value for the insurance salesperson shopping for groceries. But then, if the insurance salesperson doesn't sell insurance where does he/she get the money to buy groceries?
