P.S. One of my fondest memories in adult was when I was in FL for Internext, 2001 or 2002 (I was 19 or 20). I brought my GF (wife now) and we were sitting by the pool. You were talking to a gentleman, and you both looked my way. One of you said "Hey look... one of the GFY trolls scrounged enough money up to leave their mom's basement from the weekend". You both had a good laugh, and that was that.

Needless to say, at the time I was pretty heated but I just ignored it and continued to relax with my gf. However, there are a few moments in a person's life where they have something happen to them that sticks with them forever, and it either crushes them, or makes them stronger. That moment in particular made me stronger, and this business has treated me quite well ever since, due to hard work.

While the outcome of that could have ended up much different, I'm glad it didn't, and oddly enough, I just want to say THANK YOU. Your words in general made me push harder to prove everybody wrong that looked at me and thought that.
