    Dear WP Team,

    Thank you **so** very much!
    Whilst a complete technophobe, even I – in all my ignorance – have found some of your upgrades applicable – and fun!

    And the best part is that is telling us just what they did in September, imagine the possibilities for a near future. And without a campaign our rumors. “People, here it is. Enjoy!!!”:)
    And thats how i like it…
    With the speed things are coming and the way people are accepting things and requesting new features. I’m only wait bigger things from the wordpress.com[unity]
