[Tfug] PGP

[Matt Stump]

I'm not exactly at liberty to say, but I can say that I'm not having  
to do bake sales in order to pay rent.  I'm sure that if your  
interested and make it through the process, management won't leave  
you hurting.  PGP is definitely a place where drive and talent are  
rewarded.  So that's my non-answer answer :)
