Hello friends.

I'm sending this out to all of the current mailing lists/boards/friends I write and coorespond with so as to explain my lack of being around or replies lately.

I've been going through a health issue for some time now, many of you have gotten my replies of "being sick" and what not. I have to admit it was a little more than your average "sick" but it's not easy telling people this without them thinking you are some kind of flake or always making excuses about one thing or another.

I decided to write this and make it public because of a few hostile/negative emails I have recently received. Most of you know me personally and know I am online 24/7 and am always available for talk/chat, etc. and in turn know I am a stand up guy when it comes to communication and honesty, at least I hope you do!

If you have sent me emails and have not received a reply in regards to something, it also could still be my email account messing up as well. Feel free to send any questions or inquiries to me at media@metalages.com and CC the email to themind@mind4hire.com and I will make sure to reply this week sometime, and the reason I can finally say that is this:

I have finally had a stroke of good luck today at another Doctors visit who was able to diagnose/verify another Doctors evaluation. I don't want to go into explaining the illness itself as it is too personal of a nature to talk about, but I can say I am finally going to get (starts tomorrow) the treatment to "fix" things (as I am told) and should be back on track health wise hopefully by weeks' end. It'll be a while before I am 100% but work should not be affected any more as of this week/weekend. I can say to you all never take thing sin life for granted, it's funny the way you change your thought process after going through something like this.

I want to extend a big time public apology to the Reading Zero guys and the lack of getting their site online as of yet. Look for the site to finally go online by next week if all this goes well with this treatment as suggested it will.

Anyways, I wish all of you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR and I can promise you that 2003 will be a banner year for MetalAges Media/Store/Ezine/Merchandising/Records and hope each of you continues to visit my sites, etc. Thank you all and God Bless.

Hell man, dont worry about us, just take care and get yourself nortured back to health. We have had some pretty cool chats, and I know from my own experience your one hell of a guy. Your also very responsible with your store too. Health comes first over everything...if people cant understand that it takes priorities, well maybe they need a Dr. visit as well to get their heads examined.

Happy holidays, and heres hoping you for a speedy recovery. If your looking for reviewers when your metalages site goes back online... lemme know.
 
Hey D! :) don't worry and take care of yourself! ...and don't eat too much for Christmas!!! hehe :D naah, you can eat as much as you want, i surely believe i will do my best tomorrow :p
ANYWAYS!!! ;) have a good recovery time, and don't stress yourself too much with your job, sometimes making a pause is good!!!
So Merry X-Mas to you, your kids and family and be sure to be in good health for the new year!!! Also a Happy 2003 and i hope all your wishes will come true! :)
A sincere hug,
