"I support my friends" Policy

In the last few years, through various websites & projects, I've had the pleasure of meeting a lot you along the way. We've written back and forth, became good friends, and saw each other through the good times, and some of our darkest hours too. A lot of you gave me great advice when I needed it, and I hope I helped you too.

I love your personal web pages. Whether it's a fancy "dot-com" or on Angelfire or Geocities, they're all good. It gives me a chance to get to know you better, see the face behind the email. I feel like you welcomed me in to meet your family, hear your thoughts, hog the video games while dinner is cooking (Man, your kids hate when I do that!) ;0)

When I protested, you guys protested with me. When I lose my temper and go too far, I listen to you all when you put me back my place. When I try to rub elbows with the "web elite", and they let me know I am (in no uncertain terms) "Not one of them"...my battered & bruised ego would come back here to find you guys; still there for me no matter what I did...no matter who I thought I was trying to be.

You guys are my friends. When you download fonts, or freebies, play the Magic Crystal Ball, read my stories...you're showing your support to this site....
To me. When you drop me a note, mention me in your weblog, or sign my guestbook to let me know you were here, that makes me feel good. Hell, that makes me feel great!

I have always supported my friends on this site, whether a quick plug of your site or a public acknowledgment of what you've done... you support me, I support you. It's that simple. In a time where the web gets more political, money driven, and name-dropping by the minute, I feel it's time to formally publish my "support my friends policy".    Drop me a ,  sign my guestbook, add your link, and see if you're a "Weekend Surf Pick". Just let me know you were here.....

Because when all is said & done...the web was nothing more than people getting online and interacting. Connecting and making friends all over the world.
