Good to have you back and I want to express my thanks to Bob for saving it when he did. Actually Bob saved the site twice! I am grateful to him for that as well. When Infospace had plans to dump it in 2003, Bob stepped up to the plate to buy it. I put up the $250,000 to help make it happen. He later sold it to Adfvn, along with investors Hub, and then bought SI back again in 2009 when it was in danger of getting dumped again. After Jill, he was the second employee (hired in 1998 right before we sold it to Go2Net), so he's an integral part of the site's long history. Brad
