Thanks for sharing that link, as I've never seen this Manifesto before. This puts into words so much better than the explanations I give people for why I prefer remote.

We often hear alot about enlarging your net of potential talent (#1) and flexible work hours, but there's much more to it than that.

Thanks for your kind response. I can't imagine commuting for 2 hours pay day either.
