  • Ian Dalziel,

    Sotto voce populi, quiescent...
    So that's what happens
    when ya pull the plug
    at the heart of the island...

    we'll be LOST
    without you...
    Mister Slack

    waif erring strangers
    and chipper fools...
    parsing in the night

    so long & thanks
    for all the fizz,
    fun and fillips


    (if ya ever need anything
    from The Random Factory,
    bad puns and the like,
    just let me know...)

  • Emma Hart,

    Thank you, Ian. I wanted to write something starting with

    So. Farewell then,
    David Slack.

    but the two-hour school meeting this morning seems to have frappéd the creative bits of my brain.

  • giovanni tiso,

    You'll be missed here, thank goodness for Twitter.

    Unless the demands of @davidslack's remarkable output played a part in this departure, in which case, fuck Twitter.

    You'll be sorely missed, David. It's been a pleasure to follow you on Public Address.

    When you're next in Wellington, don't forget I owe you a beer, and some socks.

  • Jackie Clark,

    You made me cry, David. Which is silly, I know, because I am a devoted follower on Twitter. And you will still be coming to PAS thingies. But still, not reading your posts here will make my day a little greyer. You're a darling, darling man.

    Well, that comes as a bit of a blow.

    Like everybody else here, I was very fond of your writing.
    I have much respect for your decision, but will miss your stories all the same.

    So long.

  • Mikaere Curtis,

    Wow.

    Somehow contrived to miss this on Friday.

    He mihi tino nui ki a koe, e David. Kia whakamiharo to whakaaro, mo ake ake.

    So many insights, so wonderfully gilded. Who knew living on the Shore could be so much fun ?

    And thanks, again, for the iPod :)

  • Steve Withers,

    Sorry you're going.

    I hope you aren't like me.....and stopped blogging NOT because there is nothing to say, but rather far too much...and one doesn't want to sound like one is whining. :-)

    (Overly much).

    Good luck!
