Hi guys, To my huge surprise, I've received many contributions to my upcoming blog post and I want to thank all of you that did that. Of course I welcome some more. So if you haven't sent a contribution please do so. Like the others did, send them to my email address. I'll keep it confidential so no need to worry.
I'm still working on the blog post. I will post the link here on the mailing list after I publish it. Again, thanks to all that mailed me their contributions.
