Am I too late to the party to add my own support these many months later? Sorry, I've been mostly out of touch for awhile. But I was around and involved in the late 90s when Jon created
TLO. In fact, as I've mentioned before, it was in part my own newbie uber-enthusiasm for Tom's work that led Jon, a longtime Ligotti enthusiast, to execute his long-held Special Plan of creating a Ligotti Website soon after he and I met through the newsgroup alt.horror.cthulhu and began discovering a positively spooky number of synchronicities between our respective lives and personalities. (Of course, first came the much-beloved alt.books.thomas-ligotti, also created by Jon, which served for a year or two as a kind of preparatory exercise for the full Web presence.)
So the launch of
TLO corresponded both chronologically and thematically with my own launch into Ligotti-dom. This being the case, the site has always felt like a second home to me.
It's amazing to see what the place has become in the masterful hands of first Jon and now you, Brian.
