Default Swabby, take a vacation NOW!

Here's whats going to happen:

1. People will figure out that it's not Morpheus but Gnucleus and try to get support from YOU when things go wrong.
2. Morpheus corp will post bug reports on your site cause they don't want to pay someone to do the work when they can get it free from you.
3. Being a nice guy, you will try to keep up with the zillions of bug reports and new feature requests and will work 24/7.
4. Morpheus corporate heads will make $100,000 a year or more sitting on their asses, you make $0.
5. Morpheus corp won't hire real programmers, nor can their current programmers figure out what the F to do with this strange looking C stuff you write "WTF are that there anyway? don't be lookin leiek no quick basic'n to me joe".
6. You end up broke while corp vice presidents drive a lexus and have no clue what a gnutella protocol is. Driving down the road with a foxy blonde or two in the car.

Suggestion: TAKE A VACATION NOW! (make it publicly known you will be gone for a month or three)

And if you are thinking "I have my pride", read #6 above and visualize it in your mind for a minute. We all understand!

AND NO ONE POST ANY PATCHES OR FIXES!

We can handle life with Gnucleus just the way it is now. 2 months won't matter much. There is no reason for you to keep working on this so others can get rich from it.

Let these guys figure out it takes real work to make this stuff. So far they have purchased all their code and seem to think they can run a business without getting their hands "dirty".

Thanks for all the work you have done so far, its time to move on to something else for a while.
