Would you say you have to have a big ego to actually post anything online? I am still grateful that people share info for free online regardless whether they have an ego or not.

By the way, do you think you have to have some minimal ego to live i.e. that ego is biological necessity?

I think you can post without a big ego, there are tutorials or articles that you can't feel the ego in, but this just wasn't one of them. And yes, a sense of self importance (not an enormously inflated one though) would be necessary to take care of yourself in my opinion.
