I'd like more info on this. I have a hard time believing that JVL is leaving AND hiding his farewell behind a second tier pay wall. If that really is the case, I'm inclined to judge it more harshly than just 'keeping score'.

Edit: JVL Yesterday: "No Triad tomorrow and Friday. See you on Monday."

I'll take him at his word until I hear otherwise (though still looking for info)

I've seen that rumor pop up twice now. Not sure why.

UPDATE: Jim wrote back to say itтАЩs the same article as тАЬItтАЩs Because of You.тАЭ He attached a copy. He says there wonтАЩt be paywall articles and nobody is leaving.

Okay, but isn't it still a pay-walled article? I'm not trying to be difficult, but it looks pay-walled and while he sent you a copy, he didn't bring enough for the whole class. So to speak.

Also, IтАЩm happy forward the whole thread with the attachment to you and you can put it up.

I think the paywalling was an error. IтАЩm happy to put what Jim sent me up here if you tell me how. ItтАЩs a .pdf.

I'd agree. I just found it in my E-mail and read it. Nice letter, but obviously they didn't want it to be founders only content (it contains a pitch to join the founder level).

I hope they get it sorted out and then re-post the article. It deserves to be more widely read.

I just sent you a msg. IтАЩm happy to FW the whole email chain with Jim. I think heтАЩs as confused as we are.

I found the paywalled article. That was kind of a blow.

I wrote to Jim S to ask. HeтАЩs always so good about responding.

Yeah, he's not leaving. And given that he considers us "fam", I doubt that he would do so this way.
