I have never been employed by FASA - I have done one set of freelance work
for FASA (Which I believe is classified as a 'work for hire', but I don't
have a formal contract on me to check), for a sum of money that could be
equated to that of several weeks work at any McJob across the country. This
work has obviously not been released yet, but it's in Target: Matrix.

I could feed myself just as well from a McJob as I will from what FASA owes
me, and I have no intentions of making writing or working in the game
business a full time career. If it came to that point, or if my
Administrating habits changed so it was obvious that I was nothing but a
cheerleader for FASA, then I would feel it appropriate to step down.
However, I feel it is important to restate that: this list is not
moderated. I do not see posts before they arrive to the list at large. I
have no way of "recalling" messages that I dislike. I do not step into
discussions unless they are Off Topic, inflammatory, or in violation of
netiquette. Admin messages from me are clearly tagged as such.

As you've already said that I don't exhibit this problem, I see no reason
for you to ask me to step down, and I think that I'm well suited to make a
decision with respects that on my own.
