"If you need a paycheck to not starve, then your job should be pretty darn important to you whether you like it or not." This is what I suspected you meant by "importance". Something that you are forced to make important, not important by choice. And regarding my work, there's no reason for me to look for other work. I love my job. And also love some other activities I do during my day. But my job is not more important. I know its hard to change a point of view. I just wanted to know where you are coming from. And regarding bowing out, all you need to do is stop responding. As far as I am concerned, I saw a comment, was curious about the why, and prodded a little. It was a good discussion. Thanks for that and good luck.
