Oh see now she cares!

No shout-out for me, I'll just take Croix's since he's my son.

I have a soft spot for the idiot.

Leo D:

It is RIA, what do you expect?

You're asking RIA that? Seriously?

Yeah my bills got to the point where I barely was making more than 200k more than them.

I say combine into one giant llama herd!

Didn't the hint you were losing money ever hit you?

I would be interested actually. I know some basics but never too bad to learn something new.

I don't write for anyone else, if I wanted to, then I'd be writing articles like I did in high school. It doesn't need to be shared with others, I could be the worst writer in the world and I'd still post it on RIA, just to have a place to post it and get rid of it. I don't really need a reason to do what I do other than for myself.

Ok Howard, then why not just post your stuff to your recycle bin.  That would do a better job of getting rid of it...

Sharing with the public does not mean you have to pander to their interests, or change the way you write (though this is the point I am struggling with for the Zouch project, so your point is a good one).

But the alternative is to be the artist who is so deep no one understands them, and noone benefits from their work.

Have you ever read A Confederacy of Dunces?

As I said, I don't need a reason to other than for myself. I don't have to explain myself to you any more than you have to explain why you choose to write for others. Writing poems and posting them to a forum online doesn't mean anything. Writing articles means it does usually need to go through editing and criticism. There is a difference.

Also Leo, that would be a pretty bad motivational poster. One that encourages selfishness. XD

I once kept collecting with GCs after a war and didn't understand why I was going to go broke quickly until I realized I hadn't decommed my GCs.
