#1, I didn't say it didn't.
#2, around here unfortunately that's pretty much what it means.
I wasn't directly quoting you. I am just referring to the point you are making (and have been making for some time) in general. It's a shame you have fallen into naysaying. I know the lack of action can be disheartening, but negativity does no good. It comes across as bitter.
From a personal perspective, I look at effort versus return. It is rare that I think 'street activity' is worth it. If anything, money speaks louder.
