No wonder they are always looking. I'm always looking for people to weed
my lawn, fix my car, do my work, etc. for free.

And do you think the poster who suggested having a USENET Amiga 'fanzine'
intended to pay people who contribute?  Get real.  The Amigan is a 
clearinghouse for developers to communicate technical information amongst
themselves, and it has some really good people writing for it regularly,
including John Toebes of Lattice and the Software Distillery and Bill
Hawes of AREXX and ConMan fame.  Dick Barnes, the editor, does a fantastic
job and DOES NOT do it for the money.  Believe me, there are easier ways
of making the money.  I consider the Amigan to be my BEST source of
technical information on the Amiga, in spite of the fact that the authors
are not paid.

This newsgroup (or comp.amiga.tech) can be a good source of technical info,
too, but nobody gets paid for posting it.  Why don't you quit being so damn
mercenary and concentrate on getting things DONE?
