In the spring, the weather changes after Easter…
God Speed, Mon signor emeritus… May your egg basket always over-flow with golden prizes. r From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Doug Blair Sent: Friday, April 05, 2013 10:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: OT: An unexpected fork in the road... ** David, This is astonishing news! Not only have I been a rabid follower of your contributions here over the years but we have worked (together? At? In spite of?) each other at numerous conferences, presentations and our other meetings. Your reputation, dedication and knowledge is incredibly detailed. Your patience, perseverance and diplomacy unmatched. And you're a damn fine auctioneer! Please keep us posted as your circumstances change. When David talks, people listen!

Billy Beane (general manager for the Oakland A's) had advice for delivering bad news - just give it to 'em straight. So here goes. As of April 5th, I'm no longer an employee of BMC Software, Inc. While my disclaimer has always stated that my participation in this group wasn't an official function for BMC, obviously this turn of events puts a significant kink in my continued involvement in the ARSList. :-) Note that this is in no way a result of the April Fool's posting that I sent out... lest someone jump to an errant conclusion. I won't be able to discuss any details of the situation, but you guys deserved to hear the news straight from the horse's a.... er... mouth. This has been an amazing 7 years of my career and all of you are the reason for that. This is the most vibrant, animated and supportive group I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of. I've met many of you in person, talked with even more in virtual space, but I feel like a part of a family with all of you. I will truly miss the opportunity to represent the brand and products that you channel so much passion and positive energy towards. This E-mail address ([email protected]) will cease functioning, but I've created a new E-mail address ([email protected]) and subscribed to the list as a "private citizen". I'll continue to contribute what I can - just from a different vantage point. So this isn't goodbye - just a change in the weather... -David J.
