For over a week no sneaker.org has been pretty static. Which for me translates into boring. It all started with that stupid Wingdings crap. I happened to post it on the Net and it kind of blew itself out of proportion. Recently, judging from the level of activity in my web logs (traffic was up atleast 6 if not 10 times more than usual because of it) I think it is finally dying down. It was fun initially, but by now I’m so sick of it, that I think it is a good idea to move sneaker.org along and not get caught up in this rut. Even spending time writing about crazy shit like this is a waste of time, effort and bandwidth.
But before I put this topic to bed off of sneaker.org I figured I would thank all of those people who came here, visited the site and took the time to leave their comments, sign the guestbook or even email me or IM me. Thanks to ALL of you. I had several interesting conversations with many of you and talking to some of you and watching the activity on the site was a pleasant reprieve from what was otherwise a harrowing week or ten days (because of multiple allnighters in order to meet some deadlines…). You comments and reaction has definitely run the gamut from praise and gratitude to contempt and disdain. But all of them are welcome 
The one which made me laugh the most is one that was sent to me by email. I’m quoting it below, but will refrain from posting the email address of the sender.

You know, it must nice to be so damn smart in a world of idiots.
Did you ever think that some of us ‘idiots care, and would, in
a heart beat, pass on whatever we could to help this insane situation,
that we all face. Why don’t you consider getting a life, you weed!
You really are an ass! Someday you will realize it.
A Caring Person
Now, I responded to most of the emails I received, but I didn’t respond directly to my dear “caring person” since if he really thinks that spreading competely baseless and unfounded rumors in any way helps the cause of the victims and the families affected by the events on Spetember 11th, then there is little more I can think of saying to this person other than: “Your hearts in the right place, but I can’t say the same about your head.”
In fact for that matter I have a lot of respect for Congresswoman Barbara Lee who in the midst of crisis maintained her ability to think for herself and the conviction to stand alone in support of her opinion.
Anyhow, folks, again, thank you and time to move on from the psychic font or the psychedelic font or whatever the heck you wish to call it today (Where to you want to go today…).
