Bubba Seuss: Aaron, I have long appreciated your efforts on behalf of SP and the reasonable way you dealt with the issues confronted by the site. I am saddened to see you backing away from the site and the community. It is a great loss to SummitPost. If you continue to reduce your presence to just a kernal of what it was, I hope you would consider continuing to post on access and fee issues. It was your efforts that made me aware of the WSNFC. Good climbing!Thank you for your nice compliment. It's good to hear my efforts do have an impact at SP. As I come across situations worthy of reporting, rest assuredly I will do just that!
mrchad9: I don't happen to read all the articles submitted, but thought the writeup on The Wave that Aaron did was outstanding. Probably helped by my complete agreement with his postion. And yes, the articles of the history of SP were terriffic. Sad to see them go, but understand his postion.Thanks for the props. Glad you liked the Wave article.
mvs: Thanks a lot Aaron for stopping by and your perspective! Somehow, we truly needed it. All the best with mountains this year! +1Somehow I doubt my perspective is that important, but thanks just the same. I had a fabulous season this year!
Alpinist: I echo everyone else's comments. In many respects, Aaron was the heart and soul of SP. I appreciate the countless hours/days/weeks/months/years you spent managing the site, Aaron. You are too kind. I doubt I deserve such a compliment. I was also plenty of trouble to many members who would count me as an enemy all those hours/days/weeks/months/years I spent managing the site. I know they're glad I'm gone!
