After submitting my resignation I had asked the techs to delete me from any and all back-end related passwords and such. They also deleted me from the forum. Just a misunderstanding is all.
I'm tickled by the replies in this thread, and touched by the emails and IMs I've been receiving. As I've told everyone, I won't be commenting on the circumstances surrounding my resignation as I feel that this is a private and personal matter. I will say that all is amicable and that I will be assisting Ken and Pete with any questions they have as they adjust their staffing needs in my absence.
As for posting here in the future, I will be taking a little time off to regroup and decide what I want to do next, but expect to pop my head in from time to time.
Oh, and no, I'm not going tout. But if anyone wants to know my picks, please just have your credit card ready and dial 1-900-xp-picks
