Hello AJ,

... After much thought and a lot of messages from users, I've decided to keep AustionUS running. The amount of positive mail that I have received over the last couple of days has been overwhelming.

I really appreciate all of the feedback from users that have shown so much support this week, it's been very gratifying to say the least. I've spoke with several interested parties but have not come to an agreement yet with any of them and may never. It's not totally a money thing, the party must possess the skills necessary to move the site forward and keep the existing users happy.

So anyway don't mean to ramble, ....

Thank you,
George Shoner
