- Why do you hire so many Filipinos?
- Well, first of all, my wife is a Filipina, so I have a lot of connections with that country. I also formerly operated another website that was dedicated to the Philippines, and because of that, I met a lot of qualified people looking for work.
- Are your Filipino editors paid a fair wage?
- Absolutely! But if you doubt me, just ask them.
- Shouldn't you hire wargamers?
- It doesn't require a wargaming background to format text, process graphics, update databases, or to do most of the work of running a website. However, all of our workers are required to learn about the hobby.

- Tipping customs vary around the world. The editors would be grateful for any contributions.
- If I give a tip, can I get out of the Dawghouse early?
- No. Tips are only to be given for ordinary services rendered.
- Are the editors allowed to ask for a tip?
- No.
- When I clicked on the link, it gave me a different name.
- That is normal. It is the PayPal account which our editor has designated to receive tips. In most cases, you should also see the name of the editor there.
