Iggy here:

No worries here.  I'm of much thicker skin than to take such an
implication seriously.  (Heck, I've been hearing much worse since I was
a kid... so it doesn't bother me all that much anymore.  I give such
things all the worth they deserve, and not a bit more.)

Iggy here:

*laugh* Besides, I think I made it pretty clear in my last post that I'd
turn the Admin down flat if such a post was offered to me anyhow.

Amanda had a good point, and I don't want to give up the freedom I have
now for a demanding, involved, and often thankless job.  (If I want
that, all I need to do is keep being a stay-at-home dad while I keep
going to school on-line.  Oh, wait...  I'll be doing this for the next 2
years at least...)
