John's Q&A is over.....

[ThePenguin]

He's a busy man lately, and he wants to wrap it up for now. I had a feeling that was coming. He said he really did enjoy it, and that maybe he'll get back to it "when his life settles down a bit". So who knows...maybe there will be more from him one day-- but he does have a life (and a boat! ) and he certainly deserves to relax and enjoy himself doing whatever he darn well pleases. He's aware there are *many* more questions available if he ever wants to do a few more!

I'll say again how thrilled we are that this Q&A happened, and for all the enthusiasm and participation. He had wonderful answers for many of your terrific questions. I'll admit I am still in mourning for the stuff that was lost during the 'disappearing reply' fiasco; that was several days wasted and some great ?'s (and I'm sure, great answers) that just vanished. I wish I had figured it out sooner, and I apologize for that. I just really didn't want to be a pain in the *ss.

But that's in the past so I guess I should let it go.

I did tell him that although all our Q&A's have been interesting, in a few of them the guest's personality really came shining through clear as day, and his was most definitely one of those. He's never been a big one for interviews, so to have his thoughts here at the Penguin for all eternity is IMO a pretty cool gift.

Now that I have made myself get all emotional, I will shut up. Thanks everyone, most of all to John.
