I have 10 more followers than kleinbl00, I post a hell of a lot more, I comment more often and chances are, I get more shout outs. This isn't me "measuring my dick," this isn't me suggesting that I'm more important around here, than him or anyone else. In fact, it's the opposite. What I'm about to suggest is that if I were to leave Hubski, it would still be a special place because of the totality of the community and to an extent, the tools that the site provides.

There have been several times when I have gone away for a week or so and guess what? The site still kicks ass. There have been stretches or up to 6 months where KB has left the site and guess what? The site still kicked ass.

Hubski is bigger than one user, bigger than me, KB, mk or whatever new awesome person joins next week and makes a large impact.

As for our PM that you reference, I now feel obligated to share my response publicly. This is fine, as it's the same response I'd give most people that approached me with a personal issue with another community member:

    Dude, I dig you cashewguy and I dig kb and I have zero to do with this and haven't read the conversation or post. But do what you want to do and if there's a failing in the tools we provide, let me know. Nice to see you are using "dark" though. How do you like it as a setting? I just switched to "spring" the other day. WOW, it's a helluva difference. Like switching from hubskiing with Tom Waits to Papa Smurf.
