The email to the VP of Content & Community is wonderful, it covers a lot of detail and explains plainly why the idea would work. A great example for people wanting to get into freelancing, it's not for every client but once in a while you want to solve most of the problem in the first email. Why are you here? Why is this beneficial? Don't just ask "let's talk" or "maybe you have a project"... hand them the project on a silver platter and make them want to pay you. Almost worked it seems!

I respect Chris' decision to part with CSS-Tricks, it is a shame they couldn't figure out a better agreement for making sure the website continues to thrive but that is no easy feat. Onward and upward.
