What is truly sad, is they have risen to be the beacon of convention coverage and or A T news bragging about how many followers they had, yet are willing in the wink of an eye to pull the rug out from under all of those people who have come to depend on them. Mike Calvo, their founder, is blind. He left the company. Their current CEO is sighted. It's no skin off of his nose to close the door on a resource that many have come to depend on. Though they have sworn their employees to secrecy, it sounds to me like they have become more mercenary with the inability to deliver. I'll bet they didn't bother to send an email to their paying subscribers letting them know the service was going to get axed if in fact that happens. They didn't count on blind bargains printing their story. In order to save face they feel as if they have to come out with a lame blog explanation. That in my opinion is 100% garbage. You wanted to be a big boy company accepting all the big boy accolades? Put on your big boy pants, face the music. Do a podcast. Bring everyone back, allow them all to explain why they left with no holes barred.
