Dear Laree,
This is so understandable. Such day had to come but what you and DD achieved is quite extraordinary, specially given the state of the internet and social media now compared to twenty years ago.
This forum maintained the wonderful style all these years.

It is another era and personally I appreciated that the forum software looked the same. No unnecessary bells and whistles, just function, red and white, plain and simple...a specific waterhole.

Technically, in the background it is another thing and you explained that in your post.
To preserve the information from DD and others as long as that is possible is great.

The day was coming, I just hoped rather later than sooner but you matter most to you- so it is. Perhaps our sadness is a warped sign of your site's success.

To provide a space I set up a group where some could land and go to after February until something else is possible. That was what I was able to offer at the moment if nothing else happens. I guess everyone will deal with he situation in their own way. I posted about it.
In any case, and I say it again thank you for everything. DD and you are unique.

My best wishes to all.

Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.

Hey Leo, been on an adventure for a few years, you know the one … life.

Anyway, done a full circle and ended up back at the gym, and subsequently thought I’d pop in here and see how you all are and now this … sad dude.

Anyway, I wish you all the very best for the future dude, you’re a good ‘un.

Take care,
Spencer

Thank Merv, I joined the list serve that Pink set up. I'm going to give a try at the DJ site just to keep tabs on trends and conversations and such, but logging workouts I'm not sure yet.

Thanks, Steve. I joined the DJ forum but I don't think I'm going to enjoy it as much there. Especially in the workout log way. I'm on pink's list serve so we'll see how that goes. See if we see you there, maybe :)

Oh, it's completely understandable. This place has a kind of glue to it that was holding together a bunch of different people in its own way. We'll find adhesion again I'm sure.

Thank you so much for everything, Laree

I still remember an email I sent to Dave and he replied before I even started logging in here. I think we're all kind of holding on to him, that's how strong he was, from even beyond this plane. Bombs away

100% agree I tried to make it out to Santa Cruz but timings never lined up. :(

Hopefully if you jump on Pink's list we can gab a little from time to time

Same for you, man, I just remember you being super stressed about your work and the building on your domicile and family things and dancing and trying to eat well. I wish you the best my friend, email me anytime or try and find us on that list that Pink put up. elcafe corazon @ g mail . com

Hi,
It is not strictly my list , just a place that doesn't cost money and where we can stay in touch in the same positive spirit and carry on training in DD's kind bomber approach to life.

All the best my training buddy Leo. It's been a good ride and life will continue.
