@ai6yr Wait! I’m not building even more wind farms than anyone. Where’s my payout?

It's not what you don't do, it's who you don't know. Or maybe the way you don't do it?

[jeffrey@tooting.ch]

@teledyn @ai6yr But I don’t know almost everyone - and I don’t do it in every conceivable way. I’m always not doing it. I wasn’t doing it even before the damn things were invented. I always haven’t. Unpaid and in my own time.

@Jeffrey @ai6yr

you should have applied to Industry Canada. That's the kind of business plan they liked back then!
