AOL have offered us £50,000

[Andy Hamilton]

Quite a strange one this had a phone call this morning from AOL stating that they want to buy selfsufficientish.com for £50 000 (GBP) I said that I would have to consult Dave and the moderators on the forum and get back to them. What should we do?

Well, so long as we mods get a fair share I'd say ........ SELL, SELL SELL!

and when they ask how you feel, the answer is................conflicted!
