I didn't ask for a job, I was jokingly suggesting it and it went on from there. If I 
really wanted a job with MM, I would have offered to move to the west coast to take 
the community managers position when it was being filled. I'm quite happy here. 
Now for the fact. I do make a living in ColdFusion. It's what I do and have been doing 
for the last 7 years. I also support my community with the lists and other features. 
I'd love to do a lot more but can't due to the time and money issues. A consultant has 
to deal with this reality. If I could find a solid company who would put up with me 
servicing the community or even profit from it, I would. It's just not the right 
climate now.
