I'm particularly impressed by Rand's ability to keep his spirits up; as one who has been through similar, I know how soul-crushing it can be, if you let it. Kudos.
Nothing against Rand or SEOmoz, and to be sure I'm sorry they had to go through the mess he describes, but if I were running a company with nearly $12 million in annual revenue and an 83% gross margin, it'd take a pretty serious cataclysm to crush my soul.
