| schestowitz | Thanks for these tips. | Aug 23 22:18 |
| schestowitz | I'll read them carefully several times. | Aug 23 22:18 |
| schestowitz | We do link to GOL a lot. Almost no other sites cover that topic/domain. | Aug 23 22:18 |

| schestowitz | At the moment my wife and I work from home at nights, so we're not so dependent on additional funding. But circumstances can change. | Aug 23 22:25 |
| schestowitz | Let's touch base every now and then; we like GOL a lot. | Aug 23 22:25 |

| schestowitz | This is deliberate. I didn't chain several addresses to the latest key. One receives the lion's share of spam. The other one is more private. | Aug 23 22:32 |
