Fellow forum members:

Last week I posted a message hinting at my imminent departure from MacNN. I would like to inform you all that that decision is now official. I had a more lengthy departure note written, but I have decided to keep this short and curt out of respect for MacNN.

I wish you all the very best, as many of you wished me.

I trust I'll see you around the Web soon...

Always,
Misha

So though you won't be working here anymore, will you still mod? Visit?

Really Misha, feel free to pop in and post like a member here. You will always be remembered as an integral part of MacNN because Misha = MacNN in my mind. I hope that all goes well for you as you have helped many and have always done your job accordingly and in a meaningful way. Best wishes!

Good luck, Misha.

I hope the rest of us can fill those huge shoes you hollowed out during your term at MacNN.

Hopefully we'll see you floating around the internet from time to time, and we'll grin and remember MacNN in the golden days of yore.

all the best,
gzl

A good leader inspires men to have confidence in him;a great leader inspires men to have confidence in themselves. A leader is anyone with two characteristics: first...he is going somewhere. Secondly...he is able to persuade other people to got with him.

The best leaders don't need to lead. They are merely content to point the way.
Best of luck, Misha, in whatever you're going to do next.

A good leader has two characteristics; first,he knows he is going somewhere; secondly he is able to persuade others to follow him. A good person to look up to inspires the people around him to have confidence in him. A great person to look up to inspires people to have confidence in themselves.

wow, misha with yellow stars.....talk about something odd....

soooooo.....does this mean that there are mod positions open?

seriously though,
Good luck Misha, Thanks for all the work you've done. You were a pretty darn good mod. (i don't know about not giving Ca$h's name back though....) other than that.....a good job.

Hope too chat with you sometime on AIM.

I don't know ya either, but I quickly learned to respect your abilities as an admin when NFR came for that short time.

It must be hard to leave a job that you've had (and liked) for so long. (4 years at a job is pretty long for me )

Good luck, and see ya.
