Since you are posting I will assume you are feeling well again! Good to hear it.
Thanks @FelicianoTech for posting this. I imagine many others have similar thoughts but don’t take the time for posting thanks and praise.
I for one concur with everything you wrote. I expect there are many that also concur and feel very appreciative of all that is “Discourse” which, as you allude to, is much more than just the software. Discourse has really grown into the ecosystem my fellow early adopters had hoped for.
Special thanks to @codinghorror @eviltrout and @sam for the vision and tenacity to make Discourse happen, all those involved along the way and of course @HAWK (and @sam) for doing the very tough job of making the beans work for solvency and long term financial well being.
