You have money by doing stress analysis. So it is fair to deserve these money.
So as I said, there is no escuse for this. I had no time as well, there is nothing new. No one helped me. But I built my castle brick by brick. Stupid thing, you may say.
Some people are enthusiasts (like SJ), other are distructive.
Me, I'm tired. So I will take a long, long break.
Regards,
