And you should credit our seed account buyers just as much (or even more!) as you credit us for pushing back against PayPal. It was easier for us to stand our ground when we knew that a few weeks or months without income wouldn't sink us, and that was only possible because of the people who trusted us enough to take a gamble when we first opened. None of them knew for sure that we'd last long enough for them to get their "money's worth" (a seed account was the cost of four years of premium paid account, so if we'd flamed out in sooner than four years, they would have lost money). We're forever grateful that they did trust us that much, and even though both batches of seed accounts "earned out" a while back (oh my god it's hard to believe we've been doing this for so long) we will happily provide them service for as long as we exist, because we wouldn't exist without them!
(So if you're reading these comments and you have a seed account, thank you again!)
