If you were as bad as you said we wouldn't be having you on the Unity Group's payroll. Granted, Ken, Sara, and myself aren't on it either but we're getting payment in other ways. You're being too hard on yourself.

It's like that trick they always say about parents helping support a kid while they're learning to ride a bike, and then discreetly letting go so the kid keeps going on their own.
