Saying goodbye for now, nothing personal, potential conflict of interest

[Rummpd]

Dear fellow Spurs fans and even new and old Trolls:

As I have let Kori know recently, I began formal training today myself for a part-time paid sportwriting position primarily covering the Sixers (my second favorite team) for another site (won't give details till actually start next month or so, but will make sure Kori gets some insights into things I learn etc.).

I am also will be soon transitioning to a new fulltime more senior position back in government in my life in public health/homeland security from Drexel later this summer, and will be very busy with all of this and spending some time with my son and lovely wife.

I will be checking in on all your brilliant and yes, sometimes INANE/SKY IS FALLING posts but highest regard for you all! Will actually miss conversing with most of you, yes even you LakerGod etc.

Go SPURS always! Hope to meet some of you one fine day in SA. Ever in the Philly area look me up, my brother is also the director of a museum etc. lots to do in the area.

With highest regard to all fellow NBA fans! Please keep in touch again if ever in area, hope to show up one day at one of your game mixers or the like!

Sad to see you go. Do check in when you can.

I'm not seeing the potential conflict of interest. I hope that's not why you're leaving.

Best of luck.

I hope you mean conflict of interest due to time to post on both sites
hope sixers traded webber

[Rummpd]

I have lost 15 pounds but got some gray hair from that picture!

I may actually come back and post occassionaly, just later on! Time is my biggest enemy these days, wearing 2-3 "hats" all the time.

Ducks, I think by the way that you are a most brilliant and consistent poster, highest regards to you!

Thanks,

Brodels as well.

[warri0r]

Bye. I hope you are able to write about the nuggets clobbering the spurs in 5 games

[Rummpd]

That my friend, Warrior, is an illusion in your dreams, you apparently are a new closet troll, not time to argue the illogic nature of your aspirations, but to each his own.

But by the way if you are a Warrior fan they will be stout next year!

[warri0r]

Nope, this i am not..but they do look pretty good

[Solid D]

Thanks for your enthusiasm and frenquent contributions Rummpd. Come in whenever you can. It's tough to stay away from this place. It's all about the people.

[Rummpd]

Mr. Brodels:

I most admire you as someone who has the guts to blog 5X = massive stones!

Even if you have lost some, way to step to the plate.

TELL TIMVP To release 225 bookie cash of mine to you - I will hold onto 500 if allowed for your "blooginess"

:lol

Thanks. I suck at it, I guess. I did the first few just to get things started. After that I was interested in winning them, and those are the ones I lost.

But I'll win a couple more yet. :smokin

[Rummpd]

Yes Mr. D, its all about people and each on this site are all good people at heart.

Anyone who loves the NBA for all its faults has a leg up on the rest of population in my view any day.

Of course Spurs fans are head and shoulders above rest, case closed on that one.

[ducks]

I do not know why you can not atleast stay tell after the postseason

[Rummpd]

By the way as someone about to start perhaps a part-time long-term venture into this field, sportwriters who don't provide an e-mail contact and reply back are lame in my view.

I can accept any opinion as long as I have a chance to respond back.

[Rummpd]

Ducks, I will be around, just not as often, committing with other new position to a lot of things. Will come in on game chats perhaps and the like, if time permits.

I am stating it right now for the record. Is there really a need to state more!

2004-2005 World Champions are going to be the SA Spurs. Tim Duncan MVP in a close call over Tony Parker. Nazr continues to astound with massive rebound games against even Wallace squared. Opponent will be the Pistons, it will go 7 and for purists will be a great, great series.

Outcome #2 Immediately, SeguSpur will diss Manu for only averaging 18 and 7, Rasho for only 5 and 7 with 2 blocks in a reserve role. Whott and others will start the Spurs weren't really that good posts and that Pop should step down for Carlisimo or someone.
Mouse will go into a shell after soft Mavs go down. Pooh at least has a built in excuse. LakerGod will be in heaven with news Jackson coming back even though it won't ultimetely be a good thing as he sits all the young talent for Brian friggin Grant et. al., and Nugget Trolls will talk smack about next year still endorsing Charmin Melo and Me ONLY Dunk Martin.

Outcome #3 I will be very happy and proud of the Spurs regardless of the real outcome if they "fight the good fight"!

[timvp]

See you 'round.

[E20]

I salute you sir!

[Pandaemonaeon]

I haven't been here long enough, but you didn't make fun of me for being a Mavs fan, so you're cool on my book. See ya, hope you write something good about Dallas!

[xcoriate]

Later

[Taco]

Good Luck Man!!!

Check in every now and then when you get a chance.

And Remember

Go Spurs Go!!!!

[Ishta]

Best of luck to you and your family.

[MI21]

Who is going to make long, hard to understand and very literal thread titles now? :lol

Ciao Ciao Rummpd.

[Sportcamper]

Public Health, Homeland Security, Medical Doctor....Sheesh...Impressive Resume...

I once won a free lunch for winning a contest by installing over 300 tires for Sears & Roebuck during one of their sales.... :smokin

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Have fun in Philly.

[ChumpDumper]

Dude, there is no conflict of interest. Your employers should understand the nature of your posts here and how little it would have to do with what you'd write for them.

If you can't resolve this, it's been fun. Our forum's loss.

[smeagol]

Chau amigo. Good luck. Check in every now and again.

[Jimcs50]

You can be the Forum Sixers correspondent, so therefore you can stay in here.

:)

[SPARKY]

I too, will be leaving. It's been fun.

[MI21]

:lol

Who you with?

[Spurminator]

I'm leaving too, but I'll probably be back after lunch.

Good luck, Rumm.

[RashoFan]

No goodbye....Until next time my good doctor....good luck on your new "journey" Philly's a nice town...lucky for me I got to go there when I was in the military. If you need anything...let us know.Be safe and God bless...

[smeagol]

I too, will be leaving. It's been fun.
I'm not worried about you. You've left many times in the past . . . but you love us too much (that's why you always come back) :spin

[Rummpd]

I will be indeed back once I establish myself in the other things.

For now ROLL SPURS.

[jalbre6]

Enjoy your new gig, Doc.

[Slomo]

I hope you're wrong and that you'll be able to visit more often as you are currently anticipating. I did'nt always agree with your posts but you're still one of my favourite posters here.

Best of luck to you and your family, Doc!

[johnny00]

Good Luck Doc, i wish you much success in all your endeavors.
