As someone who has just recently found CoffeeKid and now CoffeeGeek......let me just say Thank You!!!
I've got two passions/hobbies/obsessions........cigars.....and coffee. I collect rare, aged, un-released, etc...cigars..........and I'm on a very long journey to find the perfect cup of coffee.
As such......I now have 2 homes on the web. cigarfamily.com for my cigar passion....and now CoffeeGeek for my coffee obsession. (I just found alt.coffee too)
Thanks for what you're doing.....and if I can do anything to help make CG grow.....let me know, and I'm there!
Happy Hollidays and a Joyous New Year!!!

Hey Russ, Ernie, thanks for the great words. I really appreciate them, and I hope that you guys get a lot out of this website, and also continue to contribute, so others can benefit.
Russ, you can help the site grow by telling everyone you know about it :)
Also, within a few weeks the "Columnists" section is going to feature two new weekly columns... one's a "Newbies Progression" column that, each week, will be turned over to someone who wants to write about their journey into what is quality coffee (and not the caffeine :). The other is a Rants and Raves article, again open for submissions, where you can write about just about anything coffee related. I hope you'll participate if you're itching to write something.

I have bookmarked and Backflipped hundreds (thousands) of sites. Very precious few make it to the Link bar in my browser - I immediately retired one to make room for CoffeeGeek!
A Happy New Year to you, Mark, and thanks again for the incredible job on this site (design AND content).

Wow Fred, I dunno what to say... I know how precious the link bar space is - I'm looking at mine now, and I don't have room for anything, AND CoffeeGeek isn't there either.
It's ironic, but in today's electronic day and age, you've paid us (because I didn't do this alone) probably one of the best compliments someone can get :)
