Airedale - I want you to know...
You are greatly missed. For years you have published regularly, and I have been mostly silent because your experience, skills, and insights make what I have to say seem like child's play.
I'm not sure why you're missing. I hope you are well. On a number of occasions, I've seen you express the desire for more support and constructive interaction from board members. I would love to have seen that too, but for the most part, you have been in a league of your own, a party of one, a voice in the wilderness. At the same time, I have greatly appreciated the writings of PMiles, Cash, USA, and many others.
After four years of reading your posts, I'm just now becoming a believer and a practitioner. It was a long, slow process. Time and again, I saw you make calls that seemed outrageous, and I wondered how you could believe in the cycles with such certainty. I'm now beginning to grasp it, and have been experiencing the curtains being pulled back--just as you described. It's an awesome insight.
In any case, I hope you return, and if you don't, I want you to know you have made your mark. I appreciate the magnificent way you have made Hurst practical.
Thanks again.
