B. Mann Consulting

Thanks for this note, Brad, it means a lot. I'm very flattered to be considered a source of inspiration.

As a regular reader of your blog, I've been following some of your ideas with regard to software. You've commented on a number of offerings, but most notably have been a big supporter of Drupal.

Well, count me as a new convert.

I have had a pretty painless set-up experience with Drupal and have installed a number of additional modules. So far, so good. After trying various blogs, wikis and wackies this -- by far -- seems to best capture the essence of what I was looking for when I conceived a "personal" web site. If you get a chance, drop by www.bradfordgibson.net.

I have credited your good work and influence on the front page. I previously contacted you regarding VoIP and big telcos; I'm hoping we can continue a dialog in the future.
