Thanks Ian, that last comment from Sam hurts. I provide help in many ways other than conferences and I never ask for handouts, other than asking for donations for the conferences from companies for example sub300.com . I have been lucky enough to be able to be supported lately, but I have never insinuated or directly asked for help. > > > This reflects an utter lack of passion. > > Maybe the passion varies across people.
