I've said what I think many times, probably ad nauseum actually, and no where near as eloquently as what I've been reading the last two days, so I'm pretty sure KC knows how I feel about what he does. 
Do want to add a bit to these points though ... 

<i>".. it’s not the quantity, but the quality, that counts."</i> 
Exactly. TIS is where you come for the gems, the prize tidbits on the party tray.  

<i>"I do agree with Todd about your promoting the Billsville shows and other bands though. Why not expand TIS to include all that as well? Could u post a second smaller blog roll on the side?"</i>
(wasn't there a side blog for a while?) Personally, I would love a mix of music topics and musicians.  Not sure if that addresses KC's issues though. 

<i>"You have made a huge difference in how fast GPN reached the stars! I know: I watched it happen."</i> 
So did I. Twice in fact, so I'm totally convinced TIS's influence was not a fluke or luck, but rather a seriously impressive blend of intuition, skill, and dedication.  From the smileinducing/sometimesperplexing titles of posts with superb content we'd likely never see on our own, to the too seldom serious writings..this is as good as blogging gets.
 I've spent way too much time wandering the web the past 6yrs and have seen precious few music bloggers whose quality even comes close to what KC does.  That's not just my personal respect for KC talking, that's objective observation.  

I would miss this site terribly, but above all else I want what's best for you. And you're the only one who knows what that is. 


An aside to Todd .. you know I adore you, but much of the time your comments leave me going Huh?  Which after being around you a bit, I started suspecting is by design. 8*) 
But when you have something important to say, you have few equals, besides perhaps KC himself.  
(and I was going to say that even before KC's post)
