Dom, as a newbie I have payed close attention to your posts and have come to greatly respect your business sense as well as your compassion.
I find your announcement jaw-droppingly stunning. I have been searching all day for posts from you in the threads concerning the bill. I consider your announcement the answer I have been seeking today – I was previously undecided if I should continue on, if this was all just a big scare or if this was (business) life-changing.
The sale of your website is a sign of the beginning of the end to a business I have grown to love, and I will truly miss the remarkable souls that inhabit this forum.
I greatly regret not having the opportunity to attend any of the conventions, and especially to meet the faces behind the signatures I have come to know so well.
I would like to thank each and every person here for their limitless generosity – both in encouragement to the newbies, and for the vast amount of knowledge shared. Dom, your enthusiasm was infectious and your fairness and business accumen admirable. I wish you great success in your next venture and thank you, especially, for being so good to us!
Andrea
