The comment is not so bad. It echoes redsox's wish for self-fulfillment, just with a different metric attached - and, bonus, you actually demonstrate an awareness of what you want, which I think the discussion helped crystallize for you as people interpreted what they thought you meant from what you'd actually said in the post. It is just young, and confident, and brashly endearing. Maybe you do not think it would be as easy now as you did then or maybe you have changed your metrics or both. It's a good thing to try and maximize what you do for yourself.
In a few lines you summed the entire thing up quite perfectly! I wish I had that eloquence. Normally when I try to write a post I either keep it too short and fail to elaborate correctly leading others to get the wrong idea (case in point being the post you link to). Or i over elaborate and write too much. I haven't found the right balance yet and I would put money on the fact that I am so used to formulating my ideas as code for a compiler rather than words for another person. Compilers reflect what you give them perfectly and they may have spoiled me a little.
