RE: ...

I am very, very happy for you and proud of you. You did the right thing.
You, more than anyone else on this site, has been responsible for my development here, not to mention the simple fact that I've stuck around for the better part of six years.
I've thanked you privately for talking me off the ledge and having my back (most of the time anyway...smile...), now I'm thanking you publicly for tirelessly pushing the concept of community on this site, for your endless patience, good humor, and for leading by example.
You will be missed as a stabilizing force on this site, but it's not like I'm gonna talk to you any less!!!
Congrats again, my friend.
Mike
I don't think I could say it any better than Mike did here..... but I will add my own "I will miss you"! I have come to consider you a friend and I know you will still be around on Eps and blogging about AI... so you aren't totally disappearing on me which is what is keeping me from being very very sad.
I wish you all the best in your new job and if there is ever another M&G out this way you still have to come visit! :)
Thanks for everything you put into Epinions (which is immeasurable), and thank you for being a friend.
Hugs,
Shantel |

Goodbye but not gone
I was getting ready to be sad there until I read down to the part that says you'll still be around, glad you're sticking with the site! Considering how many people have your e-mail as the guy that'll get things done, though, you might want to consider changing it :P |

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Good luck and I'm glad I had a chance to not only meet you but surprise you. It's always fun to shock someone. We'll certainly watch for you.

RE: A Replacement...But Never An Equal
Quote: kcfoxy Hey GG,
I'm all choked up and feeling shocked, sad but ultimately happy for you in your decision to try something a bit different and adventurous but along the Community lines you helped foster so mightily here at Epinions.com.
You were 50% of the reason we drove 800 miles round trip with gas more than $3.60 a gallon last month, just 2 days after I started double antibiotics for a particularly bad dental situation.
You and Andy are the last of the originals/near originals from Brisbane, and I will both look forward to your new endeavors and continued success at whatever you make your Life's work, as well as continuing American Idol Saga & Dish a la your civilian self.
Oh, and will surely try for an open mind for the Newbie. Guess I'll have to be 'nice' to dearest Andyman in the interim. Sigh.
Your hugest fan,
Casey la reynosa
I know, I know. Joel Bito was the other 50% of the reason.
I think every day in the next two months should be "Be Nice To Andy Day".
Thank you very much Casey. I'm sure we'll meet again.

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Quote: sageandsavory Garrett, I am so glad that you are going to remain a member of the community even though you will be working somewhere else.
I really liked your management style, you were so easy to approach and you made each of us feel equally important. I was always so impressed that no matter how upset the members may have become over site changes, you never took it personally and always remained calm and willing to answer our questions and help us in any way you could.
Thank you, Garrett.
I appreciate it Sage.

Bets wishes in your new endeavors!
John
Thanks John. That was a fun time in Atlanta.

We haven't always seen eye-to-eye, but you don't remember a man for agreeing with you. You remember him for standing by his principles. You were good.
I sincerely wish you all the best in your future endeavours. And it's good to know roheblius will stay back :o).
-Vasilis
Thanks Vasilis. I appreciate it.

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Quote: Howard_Creech Congratulations big guy and best wishes for great success in your new adventure. I've had to say goodbye to some very special epinions folks over the years - Alexis, Nirav, Ron, and several others, but you amigo I will miss most of all.
I'm glad you'll be staying around the community - epinions just wouldn't be the same without YOU. I really appreciate everything you done over the many years we've known each other - for me, for my category, for epinions, and for the community.
Howard
Thanks Howard. That really means a lot. I'm sure we'll keep in touch.

Quote: pvreditor I'm a little late to the going-away party, but thanks for everything you've done for Epinions, Garrett. You have been the public face of Epinions for most of the time I've been here, and that has been a kind and welcoming face. Good luck with your future endeavors and I look forward to modding with you.

If Stallone makes another Rocky film, I'll be surprised. But then again, I hear he's making Cliffhanger 2.
I will have a Stallone review soon though. I have Victory in my DVD player right now.

You certainly will be missed (in your capacity as it was), but I am glad to hear you will still be present as a member!

We will communicate. And don't forget, you have to be ready for guest judging the Idol finale!
Talk to you soon.

The only way I can catch Freak is if I write 12 reviews everyday and 25 on Sunday. So you'll see me writing for a very long time.

While I have not here very long,
I still have had several occasions to be grateful to Garrett. He not only knows answers, but delivers them class. |
