Since you have an accountant, bank account, none of the following applies to you first....


Secondly,...


Most people know who you are, and what you do. Again, negating the reference to the O.P. or need for commentary on it. None of that statement applies to you, nor did I say it was all inclusive.

When I actually use ALL or NONE in my sentence. Then we can address stereotypes.
I'm not sure that it really "offends" me.... it's just kind of irritating to see the same statements made here every day by many people about how some percentage of members on this (or any) community site are [insert favorite derogatory label here]... posers, wannabes, fry cooks, etc....

it just gets old, because I'm not sure I believe it's true. The ones just hanging out and not really doing biz in the industry would get bored & naturally move on to something else after a while. I just think declaring 90% of GFY as non-business hangers-on is grossly inaccurate.
