Patrick Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 You miscalculated, Bob. I've been wanting to get rid of you for years, and this represents the perfect opportunity. You've given me a great loop hole here, and I fully intend to take it! :lol: Of course, just to confirm this publicly in case anyone would actually wonder, I look forward to your continued contributions as a member of our team. Thank you for your support over the years.I think Hawkmoon said something worth highlighting: "As one of the first guys to 'chat' with me..." Those first few members who interact with a person are what make someone feel welcome here, and feel as though they are a part of our community. For many members, like Hawkmoon, you have been one of those first few. You've touched a lot of people here.I'm sorry to hear about these health troubles and that they are causing you to take a step back from the martial arts, but I look forward to hearing about your return. Sending positive thoughts your way.Thanks,Patrick Patrick O'Keefe - KarateForums.com AdministratorHave a suggestion or a bit of feedback relating to KarateForums.com?

We are here to support you Sensei8 when you need it. So you are not alone in the MA world. I am sure Patrick is going to keep you on board for all your hard work on the Forum. And that being a moderator will keep your spirits up. Taking the break as recommended by your doctor will probably make your karate even stronger.
