If I remember correctly you mentioned finishing ahead of schedule and
such and seemed quite proud of it. I would dare to call extras for such
stuff "tips". And yes, I happened to get the extras I haven't asked for
for being faster/better/whatever else doing my 'IT tasks'. I'm really
surprised you haven't been tipped in that way after hearing your stories...

I've gotten plenty of bonuses. Bonuses are from one's employer, and
tend to be in the hundreds of dollars or more. Tips are from one's
customer, and tend to be much smaller.

You mean the "\305\274" in your name? That's how it appears here.
I'll change it if you like.

Only because you failed to interpret it as directed by the appropriate
headers.
I'm curious if you'll ever respond to Ben Yalow's explanation of why
including 8 bit characters without an appropriate header in Usenet
postings is non-standard.

I proposed it quite a few times, together with helping you in advance to
get at least most of European "codepages" "as right as it can be on
your VT100". You refused, quite a few times, too. No, I'm no longer
willing to offer you free help, there were enough refusals.
