I disagree. I'm in a better position to make my own financial decisions than you. I'm sure you would agree as you are speaking from a position of complete ignorance regarding my finances.

I couldn't care less what doubters think. Let them doubt. I have found the opinions of most people to be worthless.

As for being well recompensed, when you are already in a position of financial security, one requires interest to motivate ones actions, not money. You are assuming i have a couple of days worth of time that can't be better spent doing something else. I have no need to convert pdfs so, what's my motivation? Proving something to you? Please, doubt me.

There would be no satisfaction gained. It would be tainted by the thought that I jumped though a hoop at the behest of a bunch of forum readers. That just reeks of...fish smell, if you know what I mean. It's just not my bag.

No. I've taken a position and I'm standing firm. I could...but I won't. Let the naysayers bark.
