STEWART TODD PULLS OFF A MIRACLE

Post by Roy Hersh »

Tonight was a momentous occasion for FTLOP and I can not begin to express my enormous gratitude to Stewart for pulling off the most impressive coup since the day we met.

We were meeting with one of the 2008 "collaboration teams" that flew in from Vancouver/NYC/Napa to meet with us at a Seattle restaurant and discussed a business proposition that we'll announce later on when it looks like it is closer to fruition. In a moment of quiet, before we sat down for dinner, Stewart pulls out his FTLOP biz card and said something about us needing to redo our cards and had something hand written on it, which I did not understand.

After our meeting we spoke on our way home to discuss the meeting we had just finished off. At the end, he told me that he thinks that I did not catch what he was trying to tell me earlier and explained in full. I am very proud of him for his diligence and brilliant strategy. For today, when For The Love Of Pets (FTLOP) let their domain name: ftlop.com expire ... Mr. Todd jumped in like Superman and grabbed it for us!

That is correct, http://www.ftlop.com now belongs to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap:

You all now have a shortcut instead of having to type the full name. How cool is that? :thumbsup:

Well done - that is a real achievement and well spotted that the name was free.

Excellent. That saves me having to type the flipping name out in full all the time.

Well done Stewart.
I'm telling you - Port is from Portugal.

I got a new lap-top and kept forgetting to make it a Favourite. I have now rectified this situation, prompted by my own response to this thread.
