Hi Harold! Congratulations on having crossed that massive milestone of the 3000 blog posts! Well done! I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the inspiration and the many wonderful conversations we've had over the course of the last decade and here I'm looking forward to the next decade of mind-blowing insights hitting my brain like in the last few years with plenty of superb blog articles you've put together over here.

I suspect this quote:

'I was more optimistic at that time because we were not dealing with constant outrage on social media, fake news, surveillance capitalism, and the extinguishing of net neutrality. Given the online land grab by the platform monopolists it is becoming even more important for individuals to have a space they control on the web.'

will become one of the foundational reflections of what needs to happen in order to re-claim the Web for what it was: ours. Many many thanks for the inspiring journey and here's to plenty more years to come having tons of really good fun while enjoying living in perpetual beta!

Congrats, Harold!
