To John Walker,

Just discovered your site, havent even tried the product yet, but the emotion
in your End Of Life statement has left me somewhere between ambivalence and
heart break.

I just cant stand the thought of so much hard work ending in zip, or the
thought of a monopoly beating creativity. My immediete thought was, let the
bastards have the internet, string a cable to your neighbor.

8 years is amazing as a freebie, and no one else seems to be saying it, so I
will, THANKS, and remember that its not only a product, its a display of
expertise, code like this teaches as much as it facilitates.

I think you should go have your holiday, come back and think about a
commercial model.
The reviews are great on this product, dont give up, but you must find a way
to make some money out of it, enough to employ some staff as well.

One thing I'm sure of, there is money in this problem, one thats only beaten
you temporarily.

Thanks again.
