So far this is looking like a HUGE Success! At 8am PDT / 11am EST with 13 hours left to go the total number of Emails Sent and Calls Placed are very significant. AWESOME!
NOTE: My motivation is sincerely to spread the word to as many people as possible. This is not a self-serving tactic to drive traffic to the site. If you look around the Forum site we are not that kind of folks and are genuinely interested in providing helpful info to folks. I personally love tracking stats. This is exciting stuff!!!
