And I very much appreciate that.
Okay, so I'll answer the second question first.
No, I wasn't terrified because it had kind of just been teed up for me.
It was teed up for me and ready to go, and I'll explain what that means in just a moment.
So I...
I first had the idea for MaxDoc in mid to late 2009, something like that.
In fact, I looked it up just before the show.
I found my original notes, all the notes that I took on what I wanted MaxDoc to be, and I wrote those up in January 2010.
They were revised in 2012 and then again in 2015 for the year that we actually held it.
And the original idea for MaxDoc was to be a meetup for the listeners of my podcast.
That was it.
That was what it was intended to be.
But as I started to take notes, as I started to think about what I wanted MaxDoc to entail, I realized it probably was going to be a little bit bigger than just a meetup.
And I also realized it was going to take a little bit more planning.
So I presented the idea.
In January 2010, I presented the idea to a friend of mine, Barry Folk.
He said, Mike, come on, Macworld's still going on.
That's where everybody meets up every year.
I don't know that you would have a whole lot of luck attracting people from all over to come to MacStock.
I said, eh, fair enough.
