It was a long slow migration. Mostly fueled by my wife wondering why we pay 
so much for me to do so little. :)

I didnt sellout TOO much. Mostly I found ways to do what I was doing anyway 
(keeping forums active, answering wildly variable questions on many 
subjects, coming up with witty sig lines) and get some piddly little pay 
from it (paid moderator, commission links on things I was recommending 
anyway, going into the Print-on-Demand world for designing tshirts and 
bumperstickers)
