Greg, I would have written an email but I wanted to publicly address all of Bloodhound and it’s followers. I appreciate the opportunity given to me to be a part of such a powerful and dynamic group, but I must move along and pay more attention to my work and my own blog. I haven’t got the stamina to keep up with the number of blogs I post on, so I don’t want to just hang on the side pictures and not contribute.
This has been a great experience and you have some great contributors coming on board. I thank you and will always be a loyal fan.
Sincerely,
Mike
Greg Swann says:
Holy cow! I hate to see you go, Mike. You’re a fine writer with a sweet sensibility. I was hoping you would move the more broker-oriented stuff over here, but I understand the need to focus. Don’t be a stranger. We never kill an account, so you’re free to come back anytime you want.

Mike, sorry to hear the news. You have an insightful pen with a well timed sense of when to pontificate and when to be brief.
We have some interests in Savannah and will try and stay up with your insights on your home blog. Best to you and your team.

Mike,
I can not believe I am reading this. Your writing is a treat and an inspiration. More to the point: you are respected. I think I speak for more than myself when I say that you are a favorite here.
You will be sorely missed…

I will definitely follow your writing wherever you are taking it. It was part of my MCE, even though my association doesn’t think so 🙂
I wish you nothing but the best

Mike,
Thank you for everything that you have shared with us here. I must say I am terribly disappointed that I won’t be reading you on these pages anymore. I looked forward to every article you wrote. With that said, I have also learned a lot from you and hope that you will continue to share when you find time.
Your generosity does not go unnoticed and although I did not comment on your posts often enough, your voice is of the most thoughtful that I read.

Mike,
The vote at the Directorate was unanimous. Resignation is not an option. You will however be granted a leave of absence. 🙂
Wishing you the best, hoping to see you again soon.
