[NTLK] NewTNG 3.0

[Forrest Buffenmyer]

Well, as Matthias as said, we have these things called "jobs"...which are quite frankly a real pain in the behind. Unfortunately, the Money Tree that I have in the back yard only produces about 18 cents a day, no matter how much I water and fertilize it...so I won't be giving up on that "job" thing anytime soon.

Indeed, it's a wonder--with the obligation some of us have to that "job" thing, and then still finding time to spend with our families--it's a wonder we have any time on here at all!

So, I would not think of it as "the interest not being there"...but rather as, " only so many hours in a day".

Thanks,
--Forrest
