Dear David,

I'll miss you important observations and voice here at beliefnet.

Congratulations and thank you for your sharing your thoughts with your readers. I may not have always agreed with you, but always enjoyed your writing. I hope that, despite the nastiness of some in the comboxes, you found many more friends than foes here. May God bless your new endeavors!

I am glad you got the opportunity and I hope you do well. I wish Beliefnet would have more Catholic bloggers. Now than Amy Welborn is on a break, the only one they have is the former-Catholic Rod Dreher. A shame!

You're leaving us with nothing but Amy Welborn? Great, now there will be no moderate/progressive Catholic voice on this site. Can't you suggest some good folks to Beliefnet who might replace you? Please don't leave us with just the "my way or highway" folks...
