No good.  Person will definitely have more important things to do
(or these will find him/her), and "free beer" isn't taken
seriously and supposed to be Guinness.  Listen, those customers
just won't recognize you if you do something "for free"!

Paradox, but: $1 support makes it easy to drop the solution
because nothing is invested.  It's cheap to drop, it's not even
"serious".

Believe me, I speak from experience...
