Where's this coming from?  I've been the most prolific contributor to
CP4E of just about anyone I know?

If you follow any of a great number of my links over the years (I date
back to the very beginning of this edu-sig list almost), you'd have
found me by now.

Hey, I'm *very* well connected and paid to teach Gnu Math, don't need
any more commitments beyond the current ones.

Kids love my stuff and the job prospects increase with each hour in my
classroom.  Portland Public Schools pays attention to my work.  We're
changing the face of math teaching in the Silicon Forest, you can bet
on it.

All I'm saying is I'd rather work locally with fellow geeks on putting
calculators-based math out of business.  That means not bending over
backwards to share absolutely every key to my success, even as my
competition and/or oppositions sneaks around, trying to frustrate our
progress.

I have my priorities, just like any geek.  Yar!
