I believe it’s extraordinarily important, especially now, that I reinforce something going forward. We will not be repeating past mistakes.

Everyone who has come to me, past and present, has hopefully done so previously and until now with the fullest knowledge of what they are doing, which is to say in three words: a risky decision. It is important for everyone—current, past, and potential sources, the public, and even myself—to understand the weight of this risk.

I’d like to think I’ve done my best in weighing this since the beginning, but this is something that’s been a learning experience throughout my years doing it.

Let it be clear: Everything posted here is a decision that someone decided was worth risking their livelihood in making. Please consider this before reading or contributing to .whatever.

My apologies for another rambling email, but I deeply appreciate all the trust you’ve given me thus far, and hope to continue to earn it in the future.
