We appreciate this more than you know. Many of us have had the holidays ruined by these utterly relentless attacks, and it's a difficult thing to try and explain to our loved ones. Support from the community really helps.
I just want to say that I switched this summer to Linode from DO for my personal sites, and I've been very happy with your services. I plan on launching a few more things in the coming year, and these attacks have galvanized my resolve to continue supporting you through all of this. Thanks for everything you guys are doing, and keep up the good work!
I know it's unlikely to ever happen given the nature of these attacks, but I really do hope the perpetrators are found, brought to justice, and locked away for a long, long, long time.
Tell them that. Then say what happened to your business and customers was the digital version of it. They should get the idea.
