You've come so far. When I first came online, you were, to put it frankly, a git. Loud-mouthed and opinionated and didn't give a shit for other people's feelings, which is always a black note in my book. I hate bullies. ;) But then, like Dex, I met you in person and realised there was a vast difference between the Matt I'd seen online, and the Matt I had a drink with and chatted to. Over the years, that difference has reduced to the point you're actually a pretty decent guy, on and offline. You still have a certain tendency towards tactlessness, but that's where we're different and always will be, I think. I think too much of other people's feelings sometimes, and sometimes you too little. But I have to say I really admire you, especially what you're doing at the moment, moving to a completely different state, quitting your job, the whole thing, in order to be with your family when you feel they need you. It takes a certain sort of courage to do something like that, and courage you have in spades. :)
