Thank you Dave. You have no idea how much this means to me. Seriously. It really does and I agree, that it's really hard to look at a lot of the stuff that's happened over the past two decades and not conclude that the Internet under the Google and social media models is a sort of cult factory that's primary purpose is to make money, and one of the best ways to do that is by appealing to naked emotion and tribal identity.

If I could digitally buy you a drink right now, either coffee or beer, or something else, your choice, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
