Doesn't anyone on this list server have a sense of humor?  Was anyone seriously
thinking of paying me, or thinking that I expected to be paid?  I was just pointing out
that doing background research requires time and effort, as does reporting.  Speaking
of low pay, I'm a graduate student, I know what it means to work for nothing.  In fact,
I'd be happy to make $25,000.  The point is that I'd never be able to live in my 
neighborhood
without affordable housing if my wife didn't have a good job. Which is why I was irked 
when
my neighborhood association wanted to put affordable housing elsewhere.
