Patience is a risky business... but only you can decide on what and where to spend time and money, so I guess it's really a personal thing.

I must admit, coming to bitcointalk to see comments that are not in any way helpful or that add no value to the bitcoin-talk forum, that is a waste!

I would even consider my own comment (like this one) waste... but I felt I could help in some weird way. Hopeless if not.

Anyway, have fun mate! Life is short.
