I that everyone should consider writing a post about what they see happening where they live, work or while out and about. What may seem normal to you, might be of interest to others to discuss or learn about - especially sharing community event information. I'd hate to see hburgnews gather cobwebs and dust. Thanks Brent for getting this wonderful blog started!

Your blog was often a sanctuary of reason and thought amidst the anger and name calling so prevalent on other local blogs. As for the time and pressure, its obvious that you've put a lot of time and effort into this site. Hopefully you'll find that you don't have to burden yourself with that effort and you will you come back when blogging is again fun for you. You will be missed.

As far as your plans for the future, I understand the balance issue on several fronts. I can imagine that you have a fair amount of comments to process on these topics and that the nature of some of them can make that a tedious chore. I've known a number of bloggers in the "communities" I track as taking a hiatus here and there, I think about it myself from time to time. Maybe that will work for you as well? As far as this blogging community goes, I echo your thoughts on the mudslinging part. It is why politics is banned on Hawksbill Cabin - these are deeply held values and it doesn't make sense to try and convert folks. And a respectful discussion of facts doesn't always stay on topic either because of the endowment affect. I’ve enjoyed your blog and check in every few days.
