I do more than just this. I spend too much time taking the time to explain things that were blown out of proportion to people like you. And I think there might be a few avatars one person might post under. ; how are potential clients supposed to contact you?), the total > lack of content, and the overall lack of graphic design are because > it's a prototype and hasn't been launched yet (so why are you > advertising it in your sig?)
