You've already proven many times over that you have the talent, creativity, dedication, and commitment to make this site all it can be. That entrepenurial gift will only thrive and grow stronger with your decision not to serve two masters. With the support of your family and all of us here who care about apug, there's no doubt in my mind that your p-b&j-sandwiches-for-dinner era will be short lived and a soon to be amusing memory. Congratulations, Sean!!

Sean,

Congrats! I hope that our gain is your gain as well. Seriously, I can't imagine what agonizing you and your family must have went thru. This is truly a very unique forum and I am glad to be a part of it. It started with you and dream, which I think has worked out very nicely.

Big decisions are tough. Good luck

That's a bold journey ahead of you. If there's anything we can do to help, just let us know.

Best regards, Art.

Congratulations Sean! A major change like that is always a tough decision, but I'm confident you've made the right choice. You know that you'll always have APUGer's in your corner.

Sounds like the ideal time to raise the rent around here.

Good luck Sean.

Wow, that takes guts, Sean. I've done it twice (give up a good-paying job for something a lot less stable), but I wasn't married at the time, so I could afford to take the risk.

I have a lot of respect for you and your family. Best wishes, Sean!

Steve
