Hey Uri, do you think there are a lot of crazy people on the earth like our
club? I guess not many. In general, people don't want to work hard without money
or with very low playment.

I see from recent topics, you think a lot about computer chess as a living job.
Why don't you start your own business in chess now when you are really
interested in it? Surely it is hard but as interesting as chess programming
problems. I see that you have high abilities to invent some new ways to earn
money and to be successful. After starting, you will stop worrying about other
problems :)
