Thanks, Jake, we really appreciate the kind words.
It was a tough decision, but I'm sure you know as well
that the competition has become especially big this
year, so we're going to concentrate our efforts on
content and hosting.

We'll miss many of the people that we've gotten to
know over the years, some of them longtime customers
from the BBS days, (back when we had monthly get-togethers
and actually got to see a few more faces, not just the
user IDs.)

As far as the wild statements by Mr. Wiper, well...I hate
to even reply to him, but I do want to stress that:

*No, we aren't insolvent, out-of-business or anything
of that kind.

*Yes, we had an ongoing court case against our ex-landlord,
which unfortunately took a great deal of time, money and
mental anguish to pursue, but it had to be done.

*LiveWire existed as a BBS until March 1997, and was
shut down primarily due to lack of interest, as most
folks got their chatting needs fulfilled by the Net
by that point in time.

Anyway, enough said.

Thanks again-
Kelly Paradis
