An emotional good-bye

well.. i am struck for words. i do not know what to say. i can only say one thing, being this:
Will,
I am glad you have discovered your true blogging talent and have moved on to start your own. May i extend an invitation to make your "WhoTOMP" (HOO-Tomp)and Y.I.D.G.I.E. partners in this harsh world i like to call "cyberspace". but, as you cannot keep a caged bird.. well.. caged, you also cant leave the cage un-attended. in other words, you have inspired me to bring to this blog a revival. sort of a "recommition" to the blogging world. Will, i truly wish you could still be on staff here, but there are those lining up for your position. to make a long story short, for the next while (until i am satisfied) we will be hosting "try-outs" for wills former position. yes, will can still post on this page, he just will not "officially" be on the staff. which is fine, will needs his time to focus on his own blog. being an admin is a harsh, brutal war agianst "nonsense commenters", and "hey it didn't workd." i wish you the best of luck will dougherty. you go and expand your work time.

onto a lighter note. our first candidate for the unfilled chair (so to speak) has been a friend of mine for quite some time. he will be bridging the gap for us, reaching out to Conway (for it is where he is from). yes. a conawayian. no slanders please, and may i now present to you: Ryan Adam Bonceff.
