Don't be so negative!

I'm not going away.  What I have very clearly said is that I need to
*cover my expenses* while I *CONTINUE* to work on TiddlyWiki.  Sure,
money buys food to keep me alive and paid work often takes priority,
but that is NEVER the reason that I choose to do what I do with my
time.  I have already *chosen* to work on TiddlyWiki... now I just
need to pay the rent and eat.

Sadly, you seem to have already assumed that the TW community won't be
able to provide a sufficient income to cover my expenses, even through
a combination of voluntary "tip jar" donations AND *paid projects*.
While this might be the case, it is entirely premature to conclude
that the community response will be insufficient to meet my basic
needs.

In fact, the response to my appeal, posted less than a week ago, has
been generally favorable with regard to my funding situation.  I have
already received a number of donations and, as long as the
contributions continue to come in (small or large... it all adds up!),
then it is looking "very likely" that I will be able to maintain my
active focus on TiddlyWiki, without being distracted by other, non-
TiddlyWiki work.
