Ditto, ditto, ditto everything Brad said.  The new website is exquisite.  
I've been sitting and leafing through quotes with RAPT attention 'til I 
stopped at this one, which really moved me, particularly given its 
source, to the point where i didn't want to look through it any more 
tonight:

                   Anyway, my friends.... sometimes I'm graced with 
moments of clarity
                   and a sense of the Bigger Picture; and I reread some 
of your writings;
                   and I remember my visits with many of you in your 
cities (Austin,
                   Chicago, Dallas, Iowa City, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, 
Seattle); and
                   those of you I haven't visited and/or met yet 
(Baltimore, Bloomsburg,
                   Buffalo, Columbus, Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego, San 
Francisco,
                   Tennessee, Virginia, Washington DC and many more); and 
I think of
                   where we've been and where we are; the drama and the 
comedy and the
                   hard work.... and then I know the best is yet to come. 

                   Here's to all you Rat warriors! 

                   Cheers,

Here's to YOU, Gaby and Nick and Seth, the valiant web warriors.  The 
world owes you.
