350. Might unload some this week after the jump.

Not worried about job security. I just am really comfortable right now, pretty successful and rather just keep things the way they are. As much as they say things wont change, and we'll continue to operate the same way, I know that's just not true.

They said the same thing before going public and things got shook up a bit. I expect that even more this time now that we're beholden to another company. Also slightly concerned about selling out our end users. There's lots of ways to monetize off the network, but it will devalue the quality of the network/community and would be very short sighted.

A massive company like MS that now just views us as an asset. might not care about long term viability because they already have access to the end users.

Basically I just like my job the way it is, and dont want to change things. Because Im becoming old and cranky and hate change
