I write for a number of reasons including:

- Great excuse to play with new technology
- Promote myself
- Make a few dollars
- Have some fun

although not necessarily in the order mentioned :-) . 

What I am NOT interested in doing with my writing is
getting people annoyed at me. It is the "I don't want
people annoyed" bit that I was attempting to address
here.

The mention of William Park and Evan Leibovitch for
Linux Format was part of a caption showing 4 people
gathered around a table at a "Tim Horton's" coffee
shop after the January NewTLUG meeting. Of the 3
pictures I sent to Linux Format that picture was the
weakest, and likely why they dropped it.
