What you did for Testra couldn't have been much more than Mark
did for his home project, or what I've done for my personal Forth
project.  Are you truly claiming that because someone paid you to
do it, that the work itself was something more than that which a
hobbyist could produce?  Absurd!

I've worked on my project off-and-on for over five years with a
heavy investment time.  So, that's probably equivalent to two
years of full-time work.  So, I'm saying your professional work
was equivalent to a hobbyist project.  You put about as many
man-hours into it as a hobbyist project.  You were paid about the
same as a hobbyist, if that hobbyist is unemployed and was living
off of their savings account.  It seems to me that you could've
coded it yourself at home, or something similar.  That's if you
had enough money in the bank and the necessary resources or
equipment.

It's not non-sense when you criticize my Forth project.

It wasn't non-sense when you criticized Mark's project.  He
probably put as many hours into it as you did.  He's attempting to
get paid for it too.  Maybe, he'll recover enough money to be paid
as much as you were.  If his project made more than you earned,
does his effort still qualify as non-professional and hobbyist in
your eyes?

I do appreciate Ms. Rather's Forth insight.

However, Ms. Rather knows I don't agree with her on many things.
So far, it seems we disagree on anything non-Forth related.  E.g.,
religion, business, politics, sexuality, guns, and especially our
pseudo-muslim, semi-socialist President with his anti-White racist
views, his rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul healthcare scam, and his utter
incompetence as a President.  He's got so many faults no one needs
to hate him for racist reasons...  Do you understand what that
means?  Even someone vehemently racist can hate him without it
being racist!  How absurd is that truth?  What other minority
individual on this entire planet can a racist person say they hate
for non-racist reasons?!?!  My prediction is his Presidency
will be recorded in history as one of the worst, ever.  He's
botched everything he's attempted so far including the stuff for
which he supposedly succeeded.  But, we've still got a few years
left under his dictatorship...  A dictatorship if you recall is a
government that fails to enforce the rights of it's citizens.
It's what results when the rule of law is side-stepped.
