Yes! Jeff is back! Great!

I like to thank you as well! Your decision is wise. I've been a reader of your blog since I discovered the intense discussion of wether or not to use stored procedures, way back in 2004 (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2004/10/who-needs-stored-procedures-anyways.html) I kept reading your blog and must confess I probably learned more from it, then from all the lessons I took to get my bachelor degree. You inspired so many of us. And with stackoverflow you gave us something I was missing, when I started coding and only followed your blog. A community that does proove that out there are a lot of people with the same interrests/work as I have. (Imagine, my first coding job was in a company with only 3 people, I was the only one coding for .NET. Your blog was the only light in the dark at that time.) Therefore I hope you will take up bloging a bit more often again! (I don't even mind you providing us with links to neardy gadgets on amazoon, from time to time.) Wish you all the best!
