Who Helped you most?

Somewhere in my box of old and dusty hard drives I still have an email from Tommy dating back to 1998 or thereabouts. I'd made an error on a submission and emailed him to let him know. His reply barely mentioned my error. Instead, it was a rather extensive message about site building in general. Especially noteworthy was advice regarding setting priorities on where I want to send the surfer. Looking back, I think he might have saw me as someone trying very hard, but nonetheless spinning their wheels when it came to making the bucks. That's just a guess, of course.

Anyways...I was stunned. Not only by the nuggets of knowledge, but by the fact a major player had taken the time to advise a nobody like me. I can point to that day as the one when I finally got serious. Not long after that, I finally started making a living full time in this biz.
