How about a little consideration--

I realize that every one is excited to share their videos with all us... I Just really wish that every one posting mulitple videos -- would stop it and give other people's videos a chance for discovery in the rotation-- Just because you can load 5 videos at a time does not mean that it is a good idea to do so. Quite frankly -- I think that every video posted should be in the feature box for at least 48 hours before being moved out by the newer videos-- Chances are that a large number of peop… Continue

At 5:37pm on December 27, 2008, John Weir said…: Michael,
Thanks so much for your compliment!

It still seems very surreal to me and I feel very blessed to be recognized in this way. Thanks so much for welcoming me to the "club." I strive everyday to make a positive impact like you have done and your words of congratulations fill me with joy.

Sorry if it seems like I have been laying low lately. I have been very busy in the studio, getting a new office manager trained, and gearing up for the new year. I hope to see you in Vegas over Solid Gold weekend and I want to wish you many, many blessings for 09.

Thanks again,
JW
