Hi
@Pootie22 and
@achvfi :
Sorry for such a late reply.
Happy New Year!!!!
I noticed in October it was taken down and then reached out to be told I'd been driving unnatural traffic to the site. This came from emailing friends and asking them to share. It created an anomaly on their end, and in protecting their business from (perhaps) being punished in the next Google update, they removed the article.
Could they have emailed to say,
'Due to a, b and c, we have to take the piece offline'? Sure. Could I have let them know in advance I'd be doing x, y and z? Absolutely.
It's really not a big deal. Sometime soon, our dear friend Grumpus Maximus (a relationship I have Choose FI to thank) will be posting it. The piece will be closer to originally written with a very brief note in the pre-intro about how the exodus of Baby Boomers from the workforce played a huge role.
Regarding the deleted MMM thread about the Choose FI piece being removed, I'd initially made a post here, but realized it was a poor use of my time, and that discussing it in detail would not be "adding" to the forum.
