Hello Ladies, Gentlemen (and all those in between) Thank you all for welcoming both myself and DoctorClu so warmly. As many of you know, I have been largely silent since the transition of SR1 to SR2. But smelling that our community was in a time of need, the silence has been broken. Might I take this opportunity to add a few words to the mix: This is a confusing time for our community. But it should , in any way, be a time for separation. Now is the time we need to pull together even stronger than ever before. Remember what we have built, what we have worked so hard to create, and remember that for most of us, Silk Road is about much more than just scoring drugs - if it wasn't, none of you would still be here, knowing that the Market had planned downtime over Christmas. It makes me proud to see so many of you fighting peacefully, but relentlessly, for freedom. Let's never let our community be disbanded. V
