Really unnecessarily aggressive but I'll respond anyway...
I could do it myself but if we're talking about Flayrah and [a][s] working together and there is an [a][s] writer on Flayrah that perhaps they should get first option of posting their own stuff here. That's building a collaboration rather than just using their work as a tool to further our own goals. Seems polite, yes?
And while I could do it myself... I don't know if you've heard of Ariana Huffington but she had a blog. Instead of just posting everything herself she invited more contributors and it's now a fairly large and prominent internet news site. Flayrah can only grow if we get more people.
I'm not quite sure if you were trying to impress me but 40 hours isn't a big deal. As far as I know that's fairly standard practice. I do that in my studies too. I also study Japanese in my spare time, am an admin on a furry site, have my own blog where I try post at least once a week and am supposed to be commenting on SoFurry to fulfil my role as ambassador. That's not counting that I'd like some free time to myself to read, play games, chat to friends and watch stuff. You wouldn't call that unfair, would you? Since I am one of the biggest contributors here perhaps we can not go after me for not spending more of my time writing here for free?
Also not sure why you're telling me where I live. I know it a lot better than you and I don't think I've ever used it as an excuse, although I have complained about the internet here. I haven't posted much lately but if you look back you'll see I've done con reports, site launches, book reviews, site drama, animal stories and interviews. I think I'm more than pulling my weight here.
So.. more people = good and please don't attack me for no reason.
