Wow Joe, I can't believe your retiring. What a great run.
I remember fighting with you on Condomproject.com back in the day, helping you get GFY off the ground, helping you with that email project you had going, dinners together, and in general, just enjoying having a good guy like you around.
Striking the deal for amateurwomen.com which is a story I love telling. Weren't you wearing your Austin Powers Crushed Velvet when we struck the deal?

Anyway, as much as I hate to see an old timer move on, I wish you the best.
Eric! couldn't be happier for you! I can't think of a more qualified, deserving guy to step into Joe's role than you. I already stroked you in my ambush interview so I won't do it here but you're the man. I look forward to our continued good relationship and I hope you won't get all high and mighty on me now.
congrats to you both.
