Sorry, see you later: I'm fine and grateful to have met many of you, but I've got to prioritize and simplify — I'm behind at work; behind in planning or finding my next work; not paying adequate attention or sufficiently in touch with friends, let alone nieces, mom, and wife; too distracted to set up a new Weblogging system but loath to stick with Radio UserLand (like its creator, it has admirable qualities and merits a place in the software history books, but said creator daily tells the world that I and my colleagues in tech reporting are stupid and corrupt for not devoting said books mostly to him); convinced that Weblogging will make a permanent difference in business and journalism; convinced that the percentage of 2002 bloggers still active in 2004 will equal that of 1976 CB radio users still active in 1978; looking forward to haunting the Internet as a rueful, wry, wraith-like commenter for a while before reappearing someplace on some platform.  Take care and thanks for reading.
