Thank you so much, Dougald, for all the writing and talks you've shared online over the years. As an OG DM follower who moved to Japan some years ago, I'm a little out of the loop with discussions going on back 'home' in Europe - whether in front of an audience, or with erstwhile strangers in a quiet pub. I deeply appreciate your work, and the work of all the wonderful people you speak with. Much love 🙏
