Before we begin, kiddies, I want to start with a disclaimer of sorts. I want to take a minute to express that I honestly walked away from the following conversation satisfied, shockingly. Now, I can hear the cries now...if I'm satisfied I'm kissing ass and only if I'm full of piss and vinegar does my opinion hold credit with some folk, but I'm not going to lie about how I felt about this whole thing. One thing we talked about is how when you're in the spotlight, be it Mark or Paul or Jeff, or even just site people like us that the community trusts and looks to for answers, people will always try and burn you and crucify you for doing what you feel you need to do. All any of us can do from the top to the bottom, is the best we can and what we feel is right. Those that realize it will accept it and stick around while those that don't and just want to cause trouble will fall by the wayside as they try and light the match. So that's what I did here. I come to you all with this article with the best of intentions for the Community, for myself, and for Mark and EAMythic because these people work really hard no matter what everyone feels, and they deserve some credit and honest journalism as they slave away.

I also want to make sure I point out that I didn't record the conversation. There are a multitude of reasons for it, and the one I'm citing publically is, well, I just didn't. I also didn't plan on walking into this with a strict set of Q&A, asked and answered, point by point deal. I preferred - after thinking about it the night prior and considering how our format always goes over so well - to go at it from a conversation angle. Professional and proper indeed, but loosening the ties a bit, kicking back and just talking, seeing where it goes. Little did I know that it was going to "go" for over an hour and fourty-five minutes! Time flies when you're having fun, and I'm VERY happy with the results! This also has to be said..... I am not going to quote absolute word for word and I'll even go so far as to say every quote is basically a loose account of what was said. No one flip out though, because what you are about to read did happen, did get said, and the feelings conveyed are very real. This is what I walked away with after the phone call and this is what I feel is my duty to present to you. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help me Gork.
