This is of course not directed at you in particular, but in my less than
humble opinion this is exactly one of the major problems with the modern
C= community -- dreaming is so much easier than doing that little gets
done.

Worse, it is as you say a pastime, a kind-of game; lacking seriousness.
I am quite sure that I'm not the only one who stopped reading comp.sys.cbm
for that reason -- that almost nobody is actually serious about what
they're talking and dreaming about.

Even worse, is I can point to several modern dreamers who used to be
productive hardware and software doers.

And finally, I don't think I've ever seen people like Jolse or Maurice
dreaming.

(Sorry, this has been on my chest for many years now!)
