    you have a paid job paul

    the rest of us go out every week and make enough money to live on and run a business

    sometimes you have to take the long view and take lower paid work to secure higher paid work in the future

    nybor needs to take this work and get it knocked out so he makes his money on it

    i think we might have the wrong end of the stick here lads, I think paul wrote something the same time as nybor then just deleted for what ever reason, (question answered perhaps, and edited) and he means ignore his post not the silicon job.
