Its good that you are passionate about what you are writing.  It is a shame 
that you have backed yourself into a corner of "I QUIT", nevertheless even if 
you do choose to stay in this list people will quickly forget this little

who chose to bait the Troll and now you are leaving?  Perhaps the lack of 
support that you perceive is simply others choosing not to feed the flames?
