Congratulations! Caveats?
I'm so happy for you, Dennis! You certainly deserve this, contract work is tough on family life and stressfull to boot.
But it does give you freedom.
One question. A lot of employers are image conscious. Could your job be threatened if your employer became unhappy about your prominent involvement in this (ahem) unusual forum?
Could pressure be applied by agents of TPTB to get you in trouble on the job, to attempt to poison your professional reputation with accusation of links to a "time bomb" forum? (You know what I'm getting at, you know how journalists can blow things out of proportion.)
I guess if it came down to it you could always go back to what you were doing before, but if need be for the good of you and your family, can TB2K survive without your direct involvement as primary sysop and board caretaker?
Or is that a meaningless question?
Hope I'm just being cautiously paranoid as usual, and that it's just darn good that you're part of the 9-to-5 gravy train system like most folks. "Benefits" are good to have.
