flintlocke,
Thanks very much!
But it wasn't so much integrity as boredom. I'm a writer because I like to write, and writing about stuff that doesn't interest me much tends to be boring. Plus, the lost income from such choices has been pretty well counter-balanced by going directly to readers, one of the virtues of the Internet, whether the Campfire or the website my wife started a while back, where we could both publish what we were interested in writing, whether game cookbooks, techical firearms information or old-fashioned hunting stories--without involving advertising.
