You make excellent points here Mitch, and thanks for doing the hunt for us. I was pleasantly surprised by the sites you shared. I don't do well spreading myself out - but it's good to keep options open.

Yep, I'm one of those really upset by what has happened. But I simply stayed away for about 3 days. I don't know what I'll be doing or not.

But I know I just wrote a long heartfelt message to the Medium support team; last week they got "support tickets" - but today they received a request along with a piece of my heart and mind. I just want clarity - then I can adjust and calibrate expectations. I'm sure they have received hundreds...I don't envy the staff nor leadership.

Anyhow - good to hear from you! Happy Friday!
