I'm even more grateful for this place now.

Some great brothers really stepped up to make CA and I am still amazed that no mention of donations has been made nor any advertising is present.

Web sites aren't run for free and I would be clicking on the donation tab the minute it came up here.

Hopefully Jon Caputo realizes that you can buy a name sometimes, but the spirit of the old CS apparantly wasn't for sale.

Don't know him, but my gut says he isn't the kind of guy I would like or respect very much.

C'mon, guys, let's not stoop to ad hominem attacks here. Bottom line, we don't know him personally. We can be unhappy about what he's done to our beloved CS, but, after all, it IS his to do as he pleases. Just don't visit the new site, he'll be hurting soon enough! But, to attack the guy personally is beneath we true gorillas. Just my

Caputo doesn't seem like a bad guy at all .. likes his family, cigars, and guitars. I mean ... how bad is that?

He IS making business decisions that I disagree with ... but then again, I could have bought Microsoft in 1990 for 64 cents a share .. so my judgment is suspect anyhow.

Damn it, I was ready to pull the trigger on Apple when it was $3.00 a share and I got talked out of it
