Ah, the famous “I’ve been invited to give a paid lecture in a subject you’re expert in and I know barely anything about. Could I buy you a coffee and pick your brains?” email, always from an older bloke in a permanent, full-time job.

Replying to @DawnHFoster
I’m guilty of this. Generally being asked to speak in situations that scare me witless for no money where being idiot from the telly gets a message exposure. But that’s no reason why others should donate time. Hard one.

Replying to @sallyephillips
I think that’s very different - message exposure/no money for eg, whereas this is a very particular tendency amongst professional men to expect you to essentially spend 1-2 hours answering all their questions so they can minimise their research time.
