Perry V.

I started at Allexperts.com in Oct. 1999 until the day it closed shop without any notice to me until the day before it closed last Friday. I answered 4000+ questions if you counted the ones I answered through direct reply for many of the follow up questions that came to me in the early years. I always answered to the best of my ability... never abused anyone and was always humble and apologetic when my real job or other life issues slowed my response time. I had folks return to me multiple times and even some returned many years after a previous question was posed. I took my volunteer service seriously but tried to be casual and generous with my time. I truly feel bad and surprised that others had bad experiences with the site but in the nitch I was in my feedback was always positive and well received. I also feel bad for those who I will no longer be able to help and the habit of serving others via the website now is quiet. I did have the satisfaction of answering one last question two nights before the site closed. I wish it had kept going as it was personally satisfying to help others in need who couldn't afford to hire an expert.

Sincerely,
Perry Vellenga
