It seemeth Joey is bemoaning a more innocent time. T'was an age of discovery, and joy in the sharing of it. Economic realities of this age assaulted that Avalon and threw it down. The shadow of Mordor stretched over the lands.

So long as we remember what twas like yet we may keep the flame alive. Let not thy hearts be troubled by the naysayers, wailers, and teeth-nashers for they were always with us, and ever shall be. Ware their Orc-poison arrows seeking thy breast.

Take courage and strength of heart in thy efforts and in the companionship of others who also give freely. Thy labors are not in vain. For by thy generosity and mentoring, you will grow others to arise and share in both the burden and joy.

That is how the flickering flame spreads and keeps the shadow at bay.

And to all content creators, accept my humble thanks, graditute, and blessings for a New Year.
