a Rant of sorts.

Sorry Andrew, feel free to move his to another heading if necessary. I feel at times we are hand cuffed to our hobby by tickling or trickling information leaking from the different companies only to be either dissapointed or be held hostage over a long period of time.

Hello Jason, Sorry the dream job seems like a real job now but thats why they call it work and not play...?.....so we know the difference and the reasons why we do it...typically for the support of the family, household or life in general....I hope you were able to appreciate your down time with you...
