Thanks for your well thought out presentation. That was a huge help and confirmation for those of us who actually provide the services that you described, and a good reminder that the folks who do well online are those who remember the "gift economy."

I've followed you since way back in the days of Glenn Fleischmann, when I first got online. It was so nice to see that the face that went with the person was consistent with the personality!

Thanks again, you helped make a difference this weekend. It's much appreciated!
