M(): Insensitive people on the Internet are legion, and invariably many of them will find your blog. Ignore them. Six billion people on the planet; can’t please ‘em all.

I doubt you’d remember but I met you a couple of times over the years in meetings you had with Macromedia. You are the only senior exec at MS that I’ve met, so I was VERY surprised when I read the post on Valleywag and it was about you! Well, my best wishes to you. You wouldn’t be going through with this if it wasn’t the right decision for you.

If you need a cozy place to celebrate afterwards, I recommend Firefly at 24th St/Douglass, particularly if fried chicken is on the menu.

You are a brave & wonderful person for going public, on top of everything else. May you always find the strength to get thru each day. My heart goes out to both you & your family. I wish you all the best.

M(): good to see that you are following your heart. The blog is a great idea – light always makes the roaches go away. Take care and best to you and your family.

Sorry for commenting here, the post I would have used is locked… Regarding the chinese mushroom thing, I actually got good search results once I used the botanical name, which I pulled out of the PubMed (Public Medline) entry:

I hope that the comments of all spectrum that you get don’t change too much how you feel about your blog as your space – both because I hope you don’t get too many Idiots With Opinions stuck on Loud, Confident and Wrong and because I think sharing this level of detail must be a huge help for anyone trying to decide what’s right for them. Good luck with everything. And if you ever make it to the Ferry Building for breakfast on a Sunday – go round the back to Boulette’s larder and have the beignets. For the four years I’ve been going there I’ve never made it in time and always end up at the wonderful Mistral having rotisserie. On soft-only days Ciao Bella inside has superb sorbet too – and they do it with tea for a really refreshing drink.
