That's dumb. Clearly the satisfaction is a benefit. The "Give-Away"ee eliciting a sense of satisfaction (satisfying our innate desire to help the community) and subsequently rewarding the "Give-Away"er some prudent reputation (socially and in the form of the BT point) make Give Aways much more like Trades...
just instead of trading two of the same sort of values (Trading), during GAs two people are trading one kind of value for another...
