Matt, I'm sure you know you have earned a ton of respect from the whole community. It is well deserved, and while it might seem impossible, you deserve more respect.

I believe you have a lot of empathy in how you view things, and that makes you receptive to pretty much every complaint.  We are a tough crowd as a group, but your patience and tolerance is a huge factor in keeping us together.  Thank you for taking to heart so many things and continuing to move us forward.

I'm super happy to see you doing this form of communication, I feel like you are getting back in the trenches with us.

Looking forward to what happens next and happy to go on this journey to see what we can achieve!
