I'm disappointed about your final jab here. But that's ok.
You know what, Mike? Forget I said anything.

I don't think there is a right or wrong here. I don't begrudge anyone for following their inner compass, as I've been saying.

We need a team here and I'm hoping that the people that need to be here will find their way here.

Junkie, we've had our differences. We've had our good times. I was serious at about the podcast thing when I said it. Peace, bro.

I was serious about it as well, but then you disappeared for a while and now all of this. So let me know when you have some time and we can figure something out.

It would be fun, and I would love it, but I'm not sure it is the right thing for me. And that's why I haven't said anything about it. It was never doubt about you. Just me.

As you have said, let your inner compass guide you, so worry not about mine. But Barbara is your true friend who is friendly enough to disagree from time to time. We are fortunate to have her as a friend. But I believe the goal of your vision is worthwhile, even if I might do something differently but that's okay.

The relationships matter more to me than what gets done. I seek value and many have given me value, you, your work here, Farrah, Seattle, and Barbara. I consider myself lucky to have good friends developed by reason of the silly internet. The journey and with whom we spend it is important.

But I am on a journey and look forward to our paths continuing for as long as you or others will have me. I am the lucky one. So thank you Mike for the hard work. Thank you Barbara. Thank you Farrah. I consider the all of you good friends, as well as others. Friendship is one the few prizes in life worth having. Serving each other when others doubt has value for me.

this version of CG has been fun but as you have stated it has run its course. Version two may be even more worthwhile. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. thank you everyone for indulging me.

To be honest, I'm still not clear as to why so many felt a split was necessary. I thought we were doing just fine. I'm hoping for an explanation to be coming soon, and I rather hope the two camps can be reconciled one with another.

An insightful post Arch. I really appreciate these comments and they reflect many of my own. Well said.

This thread was bumped by a spammer.

Hard to believe it has been 2.5 years.

And yes, my prediction/promise was true.

We are still here.

Funny to read back through those posts. What a long, strange trip it's been.

I made the decision to stick around here- albeit infrequently- even though I often get the sense I'm one of the few you would have preferred to have gone. Regardless, no regrets. I spend less time arguing over nonsense here and still catch some good insights from time to time.
