RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
I wanted to thank Garrett for all that he has done for Epinions – and to say how thankful I am that he will continue to be an active member of the community. We are lucky to have benefited from Garrett’s deep expertise, balanced demeanor, and good judgment over the last years.
Garrett, best of luck in your new adventure, and we’ll see lots of you on the boards!
And to the rest of you, thank you for your continued participation and engagement in this great community!

RE: Good Luck
Wow! I didn't expect this announcement. This is 5 pages I just read. Goes to show you, you WILL be missed with our problems that you helped us all with. I'll always remember your positive outlook and encouragement to all.
Best wishes in your new job.

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Best of luck in your new venture I'm glad you're sticking around Epinions though.
And now you can actually earn IS and enter the contests now that you won't be an employee. :)

Hey all,

It's true. I'm leaving Epinions as the Community Liaison to a new start-up company that

Thanks,

Ditto the thoughts of everyone else.
They were passing around a card but all the good spots were filled in already. I would have had to add something dorky on the back, squeezed in between the trademark (I think it was a Hallmark...) and the bottom of the card.
So I will just ditto what everyone else has said... you cant say goodbye**.

**Check your volume, all...

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Dearest GG:
If anyone has been the heart and soul of Epinions it's you. We can only hope your new employers know how fortunate they are to have such a talented, caring and honest individual taking over the Community Manager role.
Andy is great. Almar is a gem. While they may have some idea of what you seem to effortlessly accomplish any given day, I wonder if one person can ever fill your shoes here on the mother site.
You've been my rock for so long and a very dear friend. Now that I'm over the shock of the announcement, I'm so happy for you. I won't miss you because I refuse to allow us to lose touch.
With love from your future stalker,
HG

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Quote: rudixeno A bittersweet moment. Bitter, because it's never easy to leave. But sweet because you get to move on to the new adventure. I've always believed that life should be a series of adventures rather than one continuing epic. I envy you this new move.
At the same time I want to thank you for all the encouragement, support and confidence you've shown in me in my 2 1/2 years on the site.
Your contributions to the site are going to be missed, but it's good to know you're not completely leaving us.
Best of luck on your next adventure.
Warmest regards,
Rudi
Definitely not leaving the community. I'd probably go crazy.
Thanks for the nice words.

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Quote: alexanderaku Best Wishes Garrett. I know you'll miss all my abuse reports - poor Andy. Now you'll have to email me with the name of the new start-up. I would say post it here - but then I don't think you need our friendly trolls to help you! Best of luck, and don't get lost from Epinions - and I mean that. You can still offer a great deal from your knowledge to everyone here.
Alex
I will definitely miss those abuse reports. Just as sure as dust settles, I knew that I'd be getting abuse reports from you. On second thought ...
I hope to help out here and there as long as I'm needed. |

Best of luck. You have been a Most Helpful person around here.
If I do my job right, I think I'll be appreciated.
Thanks for the MH!

RE: Late...
Quote: deenaf I hope you aren't tired of reading all these good wishes by now and I hope you see this one! GOOD LUCK! You have been the backbone of eps and these boards for a long time and I don't know if it will be the same.
And what OTHER two kids in costume are gonna be as cute as those two????
Deena
I don't know, Almar has two of his own (as does Pehr and Mariano too), but I don't think they wear Luchador masks. Sadly, mine barely let me put them in masks anymore.
Thanks,

Don't feel sorry for that person. Just help them as much as possible.

RE: Best of luck GG :o)
Quote: cr01 Hi Garrett
Just wanted to add that I appreciate what you have done for Epinions over the years.
I know your job will have been a whole heap of juggling balls and trying to keep folk with different opinions and priorities happy.
It can't have been an easy task, and that we are so quickly onto page 4 of a list of comments, give tribute to how successfully you helped create and sustain an e-community.
I'm pleased you will continue to be part of the "epinions family".
Best of luck for your future career my friend.
Chris
I'm not a very good juggler. I just wear people down.
Thanks for the good thoughts.

I hope so too.
Thanks,

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Quote: Penguinlady Good grief! You've been around here since God wore diapers - how the heck are we gonna manage without you?
I hope your new job gives you plenty of opportunity for growth and fun. Please know that you'll be missed in your official role here, but at least you'll be around as a member.
And don't forget to hat yourself before you go!
All the best,
Margaret
You'll manage.
I would love to hat myself before I leave, but you can't get hatted on American Idol posts alone.
Thanks,
GG
