One of my absolute favorite things to do is to come onto this board and discuss and debate football with my fellow Jaguars fans.  Whether we are in lockstep agreement or diametrically opposed in thought, exchanging those thoughts with you guys and gals has been great.

However, health concerns has made engaging in this favorite activity increasingly difficult to do, to the point of nigh impossibility.

Accordingly, my posting will become increasingly rare, if it does not stop altogether, so I am bidding farewell while I can.

There are posters-too many to name-I've grown to respect a great deal over the years-whose perspectives I will miss a great deal.  But whether with longtime posters or first time posters, I will miss celebrating our wins, commiserating our losses,hating the tacks and sharing our hopes for the Jaguars with all of you.  Health permitting, I may check in from time to time, but as a daily/near daily activity, my time here has passed.

Thank you all for the great discussion since 2002 (and linger with those who were pm the old AOL boards).  Thank you for entertaining my thoughts.  Thank you for sharing yours.  Thank you for letting me know I don't know everything.  Thank you for the mock drafts, Leftwich v. Garrard, Spurrier, Tebow.  Thank you for 3-4 vs. 4-3, passing vs, running, firings, hirings, blackouts and sellouts.  Thank you for Boselli in the hall, Jimmy in the ring, and building from the trenches.  Thank you all for getting me through the offseasons, for training camp reports.  Thanks for revisiting draft mistakes and questioning playcalling.  Thank you for the humor and hubris, and the Cochram-Mehri debates.

Don't let media snobs look down their noses at you.  These message boards are an invaluable part of the fan experience-at least they have been for me.  Keep them active and vibrant.  Keep the debate vigorous and passionate. 

Most importantly. keep supporting the Jaguars!
