That's where I messed up.Number Two: It's business, you have to keep your ear to the ground, and pay attention in the community. WOrd of mouth also covers what's popular and whose designing what.OK, where did everyone start to figure that I was looking for sympathy? Sympathy is somewhere in the dictionary between the slang for fecal matter and a communicable STD that a notorius gangster once contracted.Everyone is posting thier freakouts over a review of 3.5 and what 3.5 might do to thier game. I posted my concerns.Your a businessman, you're in a highly competitive field. If a new type of electronics or processor chip came out that was causing just as much furor, if trace based boards were replaced with new technology, or a revolutionary new language developed that packed whole screens of information into a single 2 bit symbol, you'd wonder what it was going to do to you.As for the cost comparision...What do you make a year? Depending on what part of the industry, you could be making upwards of 6 figures a year.For a just starting out d20 production company, I qualify for public assistance if this is my only job.$90 to someone in my position is the same as your recertification.And yes, I do know what I'm talking about. I left the robotics/electronic engineering community in 1998. No notice, no resignation, I just walked and rebuilt my life.See, I get the larger scheme of things. The changes 3.5 is going to make to my life are those listed, which, in the scope of my personal life, are about the same as finding out my socks are missing.I listed professional concerns, and those were not any ploy for sympathy. I want sympathy, I'll snivel about how bad my life is, or how crappy the weather is.That's why I have an editor!!!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Otherwise, it would be blocks. I write like I'm writing a technical manual or a novel, my editor fixes it.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Otherwiseitwouldloooklikethisandnobodywouldeverfigureitout!</blockquote>
