Well, it is a misconception that *I* want to finance anything.

In fact, we are a community - and if we want to see something *we* have
to finance it or find others who are interested...

Obviously, chances should be better to get something financed that already
exists (GTA04A5) than for something completely new.

I see my contribution in getting things developed and produced - and
personally I would save a lot of time if I would not even care about it.

But I do. Because it is fun and helps others to have fun.
