I would say, based on your follow-up, that I understood your story quite well.
Just because someone gives you pocket change for helping them out doesn't mean they put that particular monetary value on your help, it could be just what they had on hand. As in, "here's a little more than just my thanks". You're the one getting needlessly offended. You could always turn down the offer, which you shouldn't because it could be considered offensive to refuse. Out of all the options you have in that case, you choose to be offended. That makes you a bad neighbor.
I fail to see how one can expect any form of compensation whatsoever from Yahoo when none was offered in the first place. Just because some places offer bounties doesn't automatically mean everyone does. If you expect compensation when none was offered, then it's your problem with being offended when not getting anything.
