Best regards Scott,
 	Its takes someone real knowledgable to consider what
they have and what they want and turn down one to work on
another. Some people spend all there time trying to get noticed
at what they do and take on things that they are not good at
just to get there. From what I read that isnt anywhere or
anything that your trying to do, which inturn in itself is a
real respectfull act that more people these days should try
to follow. So with that being said, I wish you the best of luck
on everything your going to encounter in the future. As this
bar has been set higher hopefully more people will try to follow
this great example.

Best of luck & wishes:
