I think this because it usually takes me 20 mins to get an answer to one of my (apparently) arcane questions, and I begin to notice the same people answering them.

Unfortunately, I have seldom the time or the expertise to reply to other people's questions. Where do these experts get their time from and do they get paid by a philanthropic institution? Maybe they are retired bods with a computer at home -- I dunno.

I can answer this...me me me...pick me (waving hand)...
Umm don't think I've answered any of your questions before....But as for me...I'm currently collecting unemployment which hmm righ tnow is 1028.00 US a month, about what I make in a few days of work...why you ask, cause my company ran outta Venture Capital to make payroll...But I did get some niffty machines outta the deal (hmm about 30,000 US if you count the software licenses) so while I look for a job (and no, not just any job will do sorry I have standards) I try and help those few lost souls out here that post questions....and try to annoy Simon666 and Sam Hobbs while I'm at it (or anybody else that's high strung)... (love you guys really I do)

Maybe I'll cook some chicken chops today.
