Goodbye 04-05-05

In
any case, these two particular announcements created the
first flood of e-mails to me. And when I say "flood" I mean
a torrent of e-mails.

A
few people even asked me if Theresa's writing about me
having a bad hair day was some sort of marketing trick. That
maybe I was using it to set people up to sell them
something. That was very few people but still, it irritated
me.

First, as I said, I had no idea Theresa was sending such an
e-mail. And certainly, it was not some sort of marketing
trick. It was just her way of trying to lighten my load a
little bit.

You know, people seem to watch and read what I'm doing so
intensely and so carefully, they are always trying to figure
out my motive for doing what I do. Much of the time, they're
trying to figure out a motive which simply doesn't exist.
You ever hear the old joke about the two psychiatrists
walking towards each other down a sidewalk? As they approach
each other one of them says, "Hello" and they both
keep on walking their separate ways. But the other
psychiatrist says to himself, "Gee, I wonder what he
meant by that?"

The truth is, many times there is LESS to what people
are saying and doing (including me) than what meets the eye.
Sometimes "hello" just means "hello". Sometimes when Theresa
does something like sending a message that Gary's a little
bit down, it's just a message that Gary's a little bit down.
It wasn't Machiavellian at all. She just thought I needed a
little cheering up.

In
any case, this virtual flood of e-mails has resulted in a
lot of questions. I'm going to answer the two most common
questions right now.

The #1 most common question is:

"Am I Going To Leave My Website
Up?"

The answer to that question is:

"Yes."

Many people were so afraid I wasn't going to leave my
website up, they frantically printed every issue on my
website. Rest assured, at the very least for the foreseeable
future, my website will still be there for you to read,
download, re-read and study.
