You speak about Dokk helping and being there for people ... well here's a bit of history..
I just found out... I logged on to Albumside to hear Dokks show that he usually does on Thursday nights only to find Kaiser and Ms. Lee hosting a talk show...
I remember back in the ole days when I was known as "thedon" (now known as Masters or just Mario) when I first got into the business Dokk was the first person I spoke to over the phone and funny enough I can still remember the words/advice he gave me.
He was always there to take the call and never ever rushed me off the phone. As a matter of fact he personally invited me to the first Negril gathering and I just can't tell you what a thrill that was. Fantasyman, LeeNoga, Dravyk, Zebra, JoeE,
J$tyles, Sammi, JohnIp, photo, D$, Michael and HolioDave were in attendance and it was that trip that became the turning point in my AdultNet life.
Becuase of Dokks invitation to Negril Ron and Ms. Lee and a few others of the people above had also become an inspiration and important factor in my life at one point or another. Not to say that others haven't along the way.
I remember one night we were walking back to the hotel along the beach at about 3am and we stopped at the ˇ§hamburga mans stand locate directly on the beach. I still remember Dokk giving that poor native that lived in a tent on the beach with his wife and child, a $50 dollar tip for a $12 tab. I can also remember how that Native jumped for joy, continually shook Dokks hand (and all of ours as well) literally got on his knees and thanked Dokk and then proceeded to wake up his entire family to show them the tip he just received. It was truly an amazing experience.
It was Dokks invitation to Negril that gave me the opportunity to meet JoeE and later on land a directors position with one of the largest players in the industry.
It was Dokks invitation to Negril that allowed me to meet the great people listed above.
It was Dokk generousity and love that gave me the break on his show.
It was Dokk that made me sweetheart deals from the goodness of his nature.
It was Dokk that was always there and it was Dokk that you could always count on.
Even when personal contact became far and few in between at times, it was Dokk that always welcomed you back, took the call and picked up right where
we both left off. The man is amazing, full of knowledge and LOVE.
I am not at all ashamed to say that I truly love Dokk as a brother; I always have and know that I always will. He is a very special man. Be glad that we have all been blessed with his presence in this industry and in life as a whole.
I certainly am!!!
Dokk, my prayers are with you and your family... relax and take your time in getting well to assure a full and healthy recovery.
Ron.. I don't do paypal yet I will drop you an email shortly... or
I may even just drop you a telephone call
Keep on Rockin'

Mario I remember meeting you in Negril. Negril still remains my favorite Webmaster get-together of all Webmaster events I've attended.
Thanks for the kind words about Dokk, all true I might add.
I'm sure he will appreciate them at the appropriate time
Again, I want to thank everyone who has posted on this thread or sent something via Paypal. You're all great individuals for taking the time out of your busy day to communicate your feelings for Dokk
