I'd like to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Whitlock for letting me post here, and for his friendship over the past few years. I will indeed be returning to The Stone City, though the next few weeks will be slow even by my standards. Readers and commenters will always be welcome; it's not as if I'm overwhelmed with feedback.

I had intended to write this on 6/1, but I haven't really had the time or energy. That, in a nutshell, is why it's past time that I am officially pulling the plug on RAW360.

It's become apparent to me that I have neither the time nor energy to get this site to the place I would like it to be and my attempts at compensating for that have been insufficient. The result has been a sporadic, discordant site without a core purpose or mission. Eventually I found myself writing on this blog simply because it is here and it's something that I've built. Once that was my only motivation, I found myself writing to it less and less.

I doubt that this is the end of my blogging career as a whole, but if I do start blogging again it will be in another capacity and it probably won't be really soon (though one never knows for sure). Seeing as how I used this blog to propose to my wife Camille, I doubt that I will ever take this site down completely, but I will no longer be updating it and if I start blogging again it won't be here.

I would really like to thank Kevin Whited for helping me get set up on Nucleus, Mike Ahlf for generously hosting the website (and all of the technical support involved with that), and Art Sammler for his contributions both as a reader and a writer. And thanks to everyone that made it a point to stop by long after I was updating regularly. Heck, thanks to those who stopped dropping by because it made this decision easier!

I'm sure that Sammler will keep writing over at Stone City. If either Mike or I start our own blog again, we will provide a link here.

Thanks again for everything.
