I'm guessing (but it's only a guess) that that is not the best feedback you could hope for..

I think we have to accept that, the more deeply we become involved in our passions, the less well equipped is our family to understand our work. I try not to be bothered when family ignores my hard-won knowledge, and principled choices about computer technology and then expects me to clean up their messes, or even thinks I might want to help them pirate proprietary software! Oh well, Family is about loving despite such things..

Joey, I am sorry. And I will happily take the rest of this discussion off of my public blog.
