KPaul,

Your excitement is contagious. I think you are living a dream that many people are too afraid, or otherwise not able to carry out. Reading that post, you made me feel like I was watching a child describe his first fishing trip with his father. If that makes sense at all. I know what I meant at least. There is something to be said for this community. It takes a while to become a respectable buisness. It happens only with perserverance and dedication. I am sure somewhere along the line people had to have told Sam Walton he would fail at his venture. He more then likely felt disouraged at times as well. Is AFP the next Wal-Mart? No. Is AFP the next Herald Bulletin? No. Does it want to be? No.

This can be so much more then just the morning newspaper. With an active paid, and voulenteer community, AFP will thrive and prosper on current "media" shortcomings.

Good Luck, I know I don't have much time, money, or resources but, the offer still stands if you need help you can always ask¹.

¹_{Did you get a ride tomorrow?}

I'm not near, but I have gas and a working (for now) car. If you could find out in the next couple of hours and let me know. I would have to reschedule something tomorrow, but I could help ya out.
