Dan, thank you! I has been fun competing with you. I remember the golden days :) I've been following your journey post Optimizely! Hope your new ventures turn out to be equally fun and fulfilling.

#400Congrats! You all have done excellent work. As much as my tastes towards user experiments has changed, I've read your papers and you all really put forth a good product.
