&lt;p>Ding, I just hit &amp;ldquo;level 27&amp;rdquo;..
Well, here we&amp;rsquo;ve yet another year past.&lt;/p>

By the nature of the commitment, we&amp;rsquo;re not encouraged to rant about the details as it&amp;rsquo;s a commitment to ourselves and thus not intended to be a public thing. It&amp;rsquo;s a great concept &amp;amp; I think it could and should be expanded in some regard to apply to any and all professions, at least in some regard.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
