Or start a food bank or mentor kids in school, help struggling new moms with kids. Sorry Ed but this is life. Most are not willing and only a few are capable of stepping up to the plate. You and Paul give a great deal. The flip side is the hundreds or thousands of sponges who suck up what others do. If you are in it for the glory you have to be kidding yourself. You are in it for the self gratification. Much like any other type of artist you love to do the action and live in the glory of the performance. Today with blogs the open source artist is eager to gain the publicity or learn to from the masses what to do better. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
