chefgary 4 Posted May 16, 2009 Although I haven't had a lot of interaction with either you Banner John or Ken, I feel I know you well. Every time I do something with my cutter I use some of the information you two and others have shared with us. Thanks again for your help, I hope you both pop in from time to time.

Buggie Pilot 4 Posted May 16, 2009 I lurk more than post. I have always enjoyed reading Johns posts, as they seem to add another prespective far different from the normal posts, an added level of intuition that I would truly miss. This forum is like a seemed like family to me, I was concerned more of John and Kens health than a recent scare in my own family.

tlzimmerman 11 Posted May 16, 2009 Ken and John..... Ken you have been great when I needed you with the broken plug. All the support team has. I work in a helpdesk and know what it is like to be underappreciated for what you do. We always get crap tossed on our plates and just assume we can handle it, never as much as a thank you or good job. Support staff is the heart and soul of a business in my opinion, and you were one of the best. A part of me really thinks I understand why you left the company. I hope you stick around every once in awhile. John, I am glad you are thinking about sticking around as well. Even in a reduced role its always good to have the wily veterans around to keep us young guns in check. Your forum posts always come with heavy weight of experience behind them, even when I disagree I must respect what I see you post. Thank you for your contributions, and come on don't leave us to fivestar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms. Rita 0 Posted May 17, 2009 John - Although I don't post very frequently, I do hang out here A LOT. Just reading and learning in the background. If you must go for your health, my prayers are with you. If you must go because you have not (as well as you, Ken) been treated fairly then take us with you, you know how to contact us. You guys have been wonderful and we newbie really feed off your every typed word!!! This has become like a family group, a great place to hang out at night with friends. Can you tell I quickly became addicted? If you feel like you can and still be true to yourself - Please stay . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
painteddesigns 0 Posted May 18, 2009 Gees, I was reading this last night & didn't want to butt in & post. I am glad tonite BannerJohn that you are reconsidering and will stay.

FBRsportmod68 109 Posted May 19, 2009 John, Sorry to hear this news. You have helped me more than I can say. As has Ken. I dont usually get on here for the drama and chit chat, just to learn all i can about this business. And all I have learned, I have learned right here. For that, I am greatly appreciative to ALL that have helped me. David Lonestar Graphics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted May 19, 2009 BJ and Ken - Thanks for all the help over the past couple of years - hope ya keep lurking and keeping in touch. My last job 25 years ago I managed a business for 3 years and had the best sales in the chain, every few months I would ask for a raise or health insurance etc and after 3 years we were both ready for me to move on. It was a Great choice to try something else as I now have health ins, and retirement that I would not have had with a company that was less than thankful for the hard work. They are now out of business and I am working towards retiring in 3 years! When 1 door closes another one opens!! Good luck to you both whatever path you follow as you have both shown you are hardworking Great people! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted May 19, 2009 WOW, again I was gone for the weekend and totally missed all of this. John, I hope you reconsider your decision (If you haven't already) We need you here. That is all that needs to be said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
