That's a shame but, as you say, family comes first.

Still - should you feel the urge to develop it in your spare time, then
rest assured that we'll be waiting. An willing to pay.

Yup.

I actually ended up killfiling you for a while, James. It was just too
much to bother with. You're back out now (cos I did miss your other
posts) but please don't do it again. Ignoring the problem is better than
contributing to it.

I can see that, I just not one for backing down that's all. If someone
gets my back up I snap and there we are. I realise the guy's a waste of
time so i'll not even bother taking anything he says to heart and that
was the issue.

I've now witnessed you picking fights with several people here without
provocation. There's a clear pattern of you being rude, argumentative,
and hostile. You'll even switch sides in an argument to keep it going.
Your trollish behaviour brings the whole group down. You owe it to
yourself and to others to seek professional help with your illness.
