Just to clear something up - I've got no problem with people who sit in front of the computer all day - in fact that's a pretty accurate description of me. However, I do object somewhat to the ones who whine about it - if you are upset about the lack of social interaction in your life, then get out of the house and quit wasting my bandwidth. If however, you're (like me) happy and comfortable to be a nerdy, nerdy geek with extra geek on the side, and wish to discuss winning strategies for Galactic Civilizations 2 with me, then join my club.

I feel a bit embarrased about one or two of the posts above. I don't consider myself in any way courageous or an example to anyone. I think you guys have to understand that at the beginning of "Operation Axeman Jim" I was quite serious about suicide - I figured that if Op Axeman Jim went wrong I could always kill myself later. I felt I had nothing to lose. So what I did was not an act of courage but one of desperation. Though I'm happy if anyone finds that inspiring in whatever way they see fit. I guess you can be a spectacular geek and still be happy and fulfilled, and maybe that would have been a good message to me about four years ago when things looked pretty black.

You just need to think of your life logically, I guess.
