Announcement: ELI website sold to new owner
« on: April 01, 2014, 01:26:55 PM »
It is with mixed emotion that I make this announcement.  I was approached by a private party to buy the ELI website. They offered a good sum of money for this small website.

After a great deal of thought and consideration, I think the time is right. As many of you know, I have been subjected to a great deal of stress and ongoing attacks by my enemies. It has worn on me and taken its toll.

I've always said to myself if the right offer came along, I would sell the ELI website. ELI has served its purpose for me.  Well, the right offer has come along by an unexpected party and after great thought and consideration, I am going to accept the offer.

The agreement has been set in place, the money will be wired later today.  When that happens, I will be transferring it to the new owner.  At my buyers request, I cannot reveal the identity of the new owner of ELI. I have signed a Confidentiality Agreement so please don't ask.

They may or may not choose to reveal themselves. But for now, the owner has request anonymity.

I wish there was some easy way to share this news but there isn't.  It is what it is.

I could write a much longer piece but then it would sound self-serving.  So I am keeping it short.

It has been a wild 6 years. See you around on the Net.

Matthew,

Is this an april fool day prank?

matthew would never do such a thing! it is in fact my uncle that is wiring the funds..he lives in Nigeria, and comes from Royalty.

Robert's uncle? Shoot, my informants said the site was purchased by an attorney in Seattle.

My apologies to Robert.  In trying to be funny, perhaps I cut too deeply.

no worries, my family is full of douche-bags, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Because a few readers have emailed me about this, I want to remind people know that this thread originated on April 1. It was an April Fools joke to instill some joy and happiness into ELI's enemies who desperately want to "put me into the ground" and have a death wish for me and ELI.

Sorry to disappoint them, I plan on being alive and well for some time to come.

I thought the post was self-evident as being an April Fools joke but apparently not. This post should set the record straight that I am not going anywhere and information is still being fed to me.  So keeping the gossip and information nuggets coming. One never knows when ELI gossip will be spilled out into the public.

Alas, no benefactor has not yet elected to pay me a lot of money for ELI. So that means, I still own and manage ELI for the time being.

Sorry for the confusion to our ELI Readers.

I apologize for the confusion. My "announcement" was an April Fools joke. I appreciate your kind words nonetheless.
