Bah. *Real* programmers can get sufficiently immersed in a
system that calculates per diem for airline pilots by looking for
gaps of seven or more hours between flights, in RPG on an AS/400
that thinks it's a System/36, to not notice when everyone else
goes home.  And yet *nobody* does that for a hobby.

And I imagine if I was doing PBM/PBeM for a living, I'd be bored
outta my gourd if I was running a strategy game company, even
though it's supposedly a hobby business.  <shrug>  Go figure.
