I wonder how many users still pay for formmail.com

About 1,000 -- usage peaked in 2008. I never really added additional features or did the work that would have kept it relevant. It's mostly in maintenance mode and self-serve at this point.

That's great; it's always good to hear that someone who contributed so much value was able to get paid something for it.

In 1995-ish, I had just started working at a new ISP. My boss dropped Teach Yourself Perl in 21 Days on my desk and said, "You need to learn to make guestbooks and things for our users." Your scripts were a big help in getting me up to speed.
