 In 2004, R. K. Milholland ("Something Positive)" was working in Medicaid billing for an ambulance company.When readers complained about the infrequency of his updates, Milholland challenged his fans to donate enough money for him to quit his day job and work on "Something Positive" full-time.Milholland described it as a "shut-your-mouth post", as he made $24,000 USD per year and didn't believe that his readers could match that.
