Hey Ben...
I've been following your blog for quite a while.
Your mention of "Filter" caught my attention. Is it really worthy it? I know you're a Catalyst employee, but give it to me straight! :-) It sounds cool...I'm trying to justify $144. Thanks.

Sam, it really is our hidden gem. For example, last week, you could've chatted with Erwin McManus on a conference call with a small group of other people.
But we are getting ready to relaunch it shortly with some new features that'll give it unquestionable value. Current members will roll right into the new plan.
Plus, we'll be hosting some Filter member gatherings in various cities across the US. Keep watching...
