VHB goes away

[Van Housing Blogger]

VHB has to take a break - maybe a long one. Celebrate or commiserate here.

bears hibernate?

who knew?

While I won't miss the dogmatic thinking, taken individually, there certainly had been a lot of great contributions. Hopefully you come back at some point, perhaps after this has all played out and we can all recognize that this market is a lot more complicated than simply being a playground for bulls and bears.

That was sudden. Hope everything is ok and you come back soon. Whatever the reason I'm not suprised that you'd need to take a break - the amount of work you put into the site has been huge, and much appreciated by many of us.

What the hell?
That was sudden!
Did Rennie make you an offer you could not refuse?
Just kidding, hope all is well with you and your family.
I greatly appreciated all of the effort you put into your Blog.

Where will I get my daily dose now?

Sincerely,
Kaybertoss

You pulled an April fools like this once.

It is one thing to slow down posting, and one to pull the plug completely. What could it be?

1. Fear of loss of privacy
2. Legal threats
3. Boredom
4. Hacked account

I am going with #1. Somebody just busted your identity, and that was your cue. I'd do the same. Some twisted folks out there.

In either case best of luck. As you have told me before, see you on the other side. Things are just getting interesting.

Freako: none of the above. Just personal/professional life will be too busy to continue.

Thanks for contributing so much to my forum over the years.

Well good luck with that. If you can, keep the site alive. It will be interesting to go back and check the comments in the future. We are going to look like either prescient geniuses or ignorant boobs. I don't think there is much in between.

VHB, sincere thanks for the blog up to this point: an indispensible forum, one much appreciated by many.

I hope that all is well for you and loved-ones, and with your work/career/endeavours.

Please come back when you can.

Where are VHB regulars going to discuss things now?
Any suggestions for a suitable 'homebase'?

PS This is the ONLY topic that has yet got me to post at RET.
VHB be missed!

[mohican]

This is very sudden and I am sad to hear that the mysterious VHB will no longer be making the prescient posts I have become used to reading over the past 12+ months.

What will happen to all of the data you have accumulated in the past?

Some of what you have posted on must have involved a tremendous amount of work and preparation. I would be sad to see it go to waste.

VHB - your blog and your contributions will be greatly missed. But I'm aware that the blog must take a lot of time and effort, so I understand why you're bowing out.

As Freako suggests, it will be worthwhile to keep the site - at the very least, as an archive for later reference.

Thanks for all the great work, and for providing a forum for us Vancouver bears. Be sure to come back for an occasional "I told you so" when the shinola hits the fan.

A Ha! You got a second job to help pay off that new mortgage

Seriously, thanks for contributing to the discourse. Hope to see you writing again some day.

Please!!! Don’t go! She’ll come round!! Just involve her more… She can do some graphs and you guys can research, together…

Thank you very much for the very informative blog. I will miss my nightly update. All the best.
