So There has been a publication people have turned to for entertainment and support for nearly eight months. We have a daily readership of thousands have received numerous awards and media recognition, and this would not be at all possible without the help of many people along the way. I'd like to take this opportunity to offer my thanks to you, our readers, and to my staff, without whose dedication and support, So There would not be able to publish daily, and reach out to people the way it does.

Debi,

As the author of one of our earliest and most touching letters, you have been an editor, a friend and an inspiration ever since you joined our family here. Your creative effort and support has been invaluable to me, and I'd like to thank you for keeping my feet on the ground as we continue to expand So There with new sections, and more things for our readers to enjoy. I hope your new project develops into everything you want it to be, because there has never been a more capable or deserving person. You are appreciated.

Jen,

A long time friend of mine, we've shared a lot of laughs, from staff meetings to daily conversation. As someone who understands people, you've worked hard to get in touch with everyone who writes for us, and make sure the letters get published every day. One of the most fun and interesting people I know, everything has been a pleasure with you, from going over formatting, to putting together flyers. Working with this site wouldn't be the same without you, and I'm very glad to have you around. Thank you for being everything that you are.

Michelle,

After meeting you, it was apparent that you were the perfect person to handle the technical aspects of the site, and translate that to the people who want to know about us. I've never seen someone who can take a fistful of numbers, and turn it with a smile into a verbal work of art. You've done a lot for us, from compiling data, to dealing with advertisers. Thank you for fitting us into your schedule.

Frank,

You've been with me from the start. Ever since the first design of So There hit the public, your artistic input has shaped the look and feel of So There to match the content perfectly. Your renowned designs have made more sites than this one, and I'm honored to have you working with us. You have a saintly patience, expert knowledge of what you do, and your sense of humor has made even the most mundane projects enjoyable. I look forward to having your name on everything that we do... you are the face of So There.

Finally, to you, our readers,

You've been with us for a long time, and you've seen So There through a lot of changes. You've been here for the good and the bad, and all the while, you've shared your experiences and your emotions with us and the rest of our readers. This site is for you, this site is about you, and this site is nothing without you. Through the love, the laughter, the heartache and the sorrow, you've been here every day, and you're the reason we do this. Every day, even weekends, we bring this to you because you ask for it. You've shown your appreciation through your readership and tons of fan mail, and I want to sincerely thank you for all of your support. We want to touch and entertain you, and you've let us. We have a new section on the way, just for you. Make sure you keep visiting, and see it when it's ready. We also have new sections in the works, for our fans who link to us, and to display the awards and recognition, that without you, we wouldn't have gotten.

Thank you for coming, and thank you for reading, and thank you for getting it out and letting it go. So There is about closure.

Sincerely,

Pahl
Editor-in-Chief
