Anyway who in their right frame of mind wants to survive on micro-stock alone, keep uploading junk all day long, every day like a blue arsed fly, checking sites every 5 minutes and diving on the Alka-Seltzer if the going is bad anf then finally after every schitzophrenic search-change get suicidal!
