This is a short one today…

It’s official: I’m a Deep Thought loyalist.

It’s funny. No matter how frustrated I get trying to encourage people to write for DT, to read DT, and to take part in discussions on DT, I keep coming back.

No matter how many times I want to give up--or tell myself that I want to give up or that I should give up--I keep coming back.

No matter what, I keep coming back.

Why, do you ask? Maybe it’s because I’m the last of the original staff still active here. Or maybe it’s because I’ve poured so much of my time and effort over the past three years into trying to make DT a success. Or maybe it’s because this is my home online. Whatever the reason, I keep coming back.

I hope you do too.

I’m not in this for the money. None of here are. If we were, we would have given up long ago. I’m in this because I want to make Deep Thought work. I am committed to making Deep Thought the best it can be, as is the rest of our team (and we have some very exciting things we’ve been working on that you’ll see in the not-too-distant future). I don’t give up that easily. I want Deep Thought to work. I hope that some of you feel the same way too. After all, this isn’t my site. This isn’t just my place to get on a soapbox. This is your site too. And it’s whatever you make it to be.
