I have been down sick for a week,
and I come back to THIS?!?!?!
.
.
Rob, I gotta tell ya…
.
John and Jen WERE the BLOG!
.
.
There were three people whose
posts were entertaining AND
interesting and REAL.
.
Heck, anyone can post links to other
news posts. Look at todays posts.
Give me a break! Like I need the
Cardomain Blog to give me a link
to GM and Ford’s business plan.
.
Those are WEAK posts.
.
.
J & J kept it real.
.
They are interesting people.
.
.
Now all we have is mostly
bloggers who are legends in
their own minds…
.
Who think EVERYONE (or anyone)
even cares what they are doing…
.
All the Blog needs is another
pompous and arrogant blogger…
.
What am I going to look forward
to?
.
Another Mike Musto post?
.
I think NOT!
.
The guy’s a big spoiled kid,
and not a very good writer to
boot!
.
.
Katherine Heletaq (sp?).
.
Her posts are dryer
than burnt toast!
.
Who the hell wants
dry burnt toast?
.
B-O-R-I-N-G!!!
.
(Sorry Katherine, you
are probably a nice person,
but your posts are not
interesting.
.
I just skip them…
.
It’s like reading the
glove box manual:
Sure, you can read
it, but do you REALLY
WANT to?
.
Nope.
.
.
J & J kept the focus real,
for the “average Joe” who
doesn’t have gazillions to
spend on their rides.
.
They are also funny!
.
They have personalities!
(something truly lacking
in almost all of the Blog
posters, Rob excluded)
.
.
I understand that business
is business.
.
.
That said, this just may
be a bad business decision.
.
.
(If I want to go on line
to see a rich guy with cars,
Jay Leno is a mouse click
away…}
.
.
.
The other change I’ve noticed
is that the pop-up ads are
getting really intrusive &
quite frankly annoying as hell.
.
.
I started building a new CD page
on my new rod project two weeks ago
.
.
I ended up deleting it, and
started a my own web page for it..
.
.
The pop up ad in the top right
of the page was simply relentless…
.
I just gave up…
.
.
I might have to do the same
for my RoadMonster’s page.
Create my own page and kill
the CD page. That would be
a shame after 4 years and
almost 200K hits…
.
.
Is this really a GOOD
business plan?
.
.
I think not.
.
.
I know I won’t be here
daily anymore. I know in
the grand scheme of things,
one person may not seem like
a lot, but I check CD at least
6-10 times a day, every day.
.
I am very active, & have almost
a dozen CarDomain t-shirts
to prove it!
.
.
I am taking the time to tell
you what I think. How many
will just leave and not
say a word.
.
I’d bet there are a lot.
.
.
John and Jen, I just want
to say a sincere “thank you”
for all the the fun posts!
.
You two brought me a lot
of happiness! I found
you both to be people of
integrity, whom I would
gladly consider “friends”.
(And I choose my friends
very carefully.)
I truly wish you both
the best.
.
If either of you are
ever in the Salem area,
and if you need anything,
ever, just let me know.
.
.
Godspeed CarDomain!
.
Stewart

It’s understandable that CD couldn’t afford to keep them on the formal payroll, but I hope their departure was on good or decent terms.
-
Might be able to toss a bone their way sometimes and have ‘em contribute at least?
-
I feel like I’m going through my parents’ divorce all over again. We need visitation rights.
