The pride I take in the labor. Computer Stupidities is something I assembled myself. In that case I actually *don't* take formal credit, because the material, with the exception of just a small handful of my own anecdotes, comes from others. But I put a lot of work into it nonetheless. Formatting is tedious, and sorting through submission is more so. (For every accepted anecdote, there were three more that didn't make it; for every two accepted anecdotes, one was slovenly spelled.) Credit or not, my motivation for doing ANY part of RinkWorks is that it's mine -- my own little piece of the world that I can fashion myself. There's a lot of pride and joy there that just can't carry over if I delegate labor out to others too much. True, I do that on occasion -- and certainly the forum and the IABBBBM reader reviews are communal projects -- but the responsibility still ultimately reverts back to me even in those areas where the creative effort and credit go to others. This is why I can't hand over the reigns on a whole feature like that.

Absolutely not. You guys are great. And a lot of you are more than talented and persevering enough to do the jobs. But I'd rather see that energy put to use on your own web sites. The Left-Handed Mess...HereZone...and so forth. There is web beyond RinkWorks.
