Yes. Great job, Rick. Thank you for everything. Well done! Although it is a little bit sad to hear that the site will be closed, but it has already achieved much especially on promoting the Carpenters and let us(fans of the Carpenters) to keep track of the latest news.

Thank you everybody for your warm words of kindness and encouragement.

There does seem to be a bit of confusion - some people think that Carpenters Online is going away completely - this is not the case. The forum (which we are on here) and the MySpace site a both remaining online. It's the main web site at www.carponline.bravepages.com which is closing down.

We are still going to be here. Granted it is the main web site which gets thousands of visitors each month without that the forum and the MySpace site will take a hit - but those of us who are still here - will have to keep The Carpenters Online alive by word of mouth.

I must apologize - in my zeal to thank Rick for such a beautiful website update, and to mention that I do feel bittersweet about the fact that the WEBSITE is going away - I never reiterrated that the forum WILL remain and when I read my own post, it sounded like I was lamenting the end of the whole ball of wax. MY BAD!! I confused the issue, so - I deleted my initial post. I didn't intend to confuse everyone, and I apologize if I did.

The intention of my post, then, was to simply thank Rick for a beautiful update, and to thank him for the lovely mention of Jim, and tell him that I appreciate him thanking me in his writing. I do, however, want to say that anything I did for the main website was truly MY pleasure. I am grateful that the law of attraction led me to Carpenters Online, in the first place.

So, THANK YOU, RICK. That's really what this thread was all about. I apologize, once again, for screwing it up. I, for one, am looking forward to continuing our dialogue, everyone, on the FORUM, which will be remaining.

KUDOS, RICK - ON A WONDERFUL FINAL UPDATE OF THE MAIN WEBSITE.

Tim... it's so funny how communication on the internet gets so easily tangled.

The reason I brought this up is because I've received several emails from people saying they're very sad to see The Carpenters Online disappearing from the internet.

One person said that although he never posts on the forum, he's been coming around for three years almost every day to read posts - he said he would miss that. Another person wrote to me and said that she was devastated that Carpenters Online is leaving the internet. She was really emotional about it. She said she would be willing to pay a monthly membership fee if that's what it took to keep it online. I wrote back to her to let her know that the forum and the MySpace site are staying on line - it's just the main site that is going away. I also let her know that it wasn't about money - but it's because I am shifting my energy to other projects.

Tim, don't worry you did not cause this.

I will be sending out another update email to my email list and hopefully correct any misunderstandings.
