I remember saying to you in 04 -05 that your presence and input to the site was needed to make Wincustomize/Stardock a more informative and user friendly experience, and that is still true today. In recent times there have been many unanswered questions about the future of some of the apps we love to use, and how we will receive them post-Impulse, and hearing directly from the CEO with regard to the more important questions can only serve to improve customer relations.
Sure we have Jafo and Island Dog here as Stardock representatives, but since the departure of Zoomba to do other things, details on the future of things re: customisation have been sketchy at best. At least when you were more involved we had ideas on what to expect... and when. Sadly, that has been lacking of late, so yeah, Brad, the greater your involvement the better for those who have a vested interest in all things WC/Stardock.
So, to your question: "Am I a Stranger to You Guys?", no, not exactly, but if you could prioritise a little more of your time to WC, then that would be nice. And no, you don't have to hang around all day playing silly buggers with the lunatic fringe [and there's a few of us here] just so long as you're here to keep us informed, that's all.
Remember, what separates a great company from a good one is when the owner/CEO lends a more personal touch and shows their customers that they do in fact matter.
