Thanks for all your kind comments. All much appreciated.

I am looking forward to Shanghai immensely and only wish it didn't clash with PubCon as it's hard to be in two places at once, and I wanted to be there as well, but as you can see from the press release Asia is a big deal for us, and timing is important.

I am actually heading to Hong Kong for 4 days first 10th thru 14th and have some spare time over the weekend. If there are any WebmasterWorld members who are around and about that weekend (i.e. not going to PubCon) would love to hook up for a beer or three (on me) and to pick your brains.

We actually turned 5 years old as a company yesterday, so the timing was great, and we looked at a lot of different scenarios before opting for this one. The opportunity is great, people are great and the ethos of what is trying to be achieved is 100% consistent with ours, so it made perfect sense.

Once again thanks for your comments, means a lot coming from my extended family! It's partly for working on this that I have been slightly absent from posting etc.
