Thanks for the reference, Fred. But, truth be known, I hate advertising, I hate marketing and I hate sales--I hate all of that stuff. But I recognize that ecommerce, with its respective advertising elements, will play a big role into the future our planet. So I guess what I'm doing here is actually succombing to the reality of this, and trying to get ahead of the eight-ball for investing into it.

Time to me is far more precious and valuable than money. On the other hand, I'm not married, I don't have a family I support, so those responsibilities aren't staring me in the face each day. No doubt, were this the case, it would change everything in my life.

So, thus, I live a life which adapts better to having more time available than money. Money simply makes the time more enjoyable, and, of course, it's nice to help others with it. But, still, for me, time without money can be enjoyable also. It all depends how you live your life, what your priorities are.

But what's clear to me is I could never be tied down situationally to a set number of hours a week to which I'd arrive at a place in order to accomplish a specific objective. This, to me, has always been an assault on my creativity. And creativity, for me, comes more from time than from money. So I prefer to work, at my own election, 60-80 hours in one week and then have seven to 10 days off, rather than be forced to perform 40 hours weekly at a proscribed place and time.

I really don't think the meaning of life is the one who has the most money at the end wins. I think it's a better bet the one who has better spent their time on earth is the winner. But I consider the work ethic is an important one. Indeed, it's always been my motto that no one should be lost without a cause!

But Internet market exec? For me? Nope. Thanks anyway, Fred. I'm perfectly happy to strum my guitar. I suspect eventually I'll write a Zulu song, but it might have more to do with the real Zulu battle than this Internet Zulu battle.
