John mentioned his departure from The Home Server Show Podcast very quickly on episode 199 and the official announcement will air on episode 200. It wasn't that long ago that Chris Lux said farewell on episode 100. Speaking of, you can catch that episode here. It has a lot of great out takes with John that you should listen to even if you have heard them before it's a great listen. They start around the 1 hour mark.

It was a joy to have John on the podcast for such a long time. It will be sad to see him go but I hope we can talk him into coming back on the show from time to time. John is an endless enthusiast that we all learned from and he always managed to lighten the mood for recording. That certainly helped during some of the dark days of Windows Home Server. John, thank you. Your wit and wisdom will be missed.

That is terrible news. Sorry to hear that he is leaving us. I think I speak for everyone, we will miss his knowledge and humor on the HSS as well as the forums. Who can forget "My Eye".

John thank you so much for the help you have given me in the forums over the years. You will be missed.

BIll

So now we lost the international flavor.     Good luck John!

Wow, you could blow me down with a feather. Sorry to hear you're leaving John. I hope it's for bigger and better things.

John you will be missed. I echo ikon and hope you are moving to greener pastures. I also hope we'll still see you in these forums.

Keep in touch, John...you're sense of humor was very enjoyable, and your technical expertise is valued...

[tojoski]

Dang.. I watched the debate and missed the big news..

John you will be missed on the podcast.

I've been on one BYOB podcast with John and enjoyed that as well as his input, intuitiveness, and generally being a nice guy. His input from his multiple sources will be missed.


Oh...can I have the Dremel?

and generally being a nice guy.

Well, he is Canadian after all. Cue the rimshot (http://instantrimshot.com)

[jmwills]

Yes, but he is one those Quebecians!

[ikon]

We give him a pass on that. After all, that's really family squabbling. BTW, it's Quebecers, pronounced Kay-beck-ers

Hey John,

Not going to be same without you on the podcast. Thanks for joining us on the last BYOB and for all the help. That leaves me to represent Quebec on the podcast but I must say I can never fill your shoes....

Merci beaucoup, et bonne chance!

[ikon]

Are you from Quebec pcdoc?

[Dude]

Have listened to all your Podcasts, always enjoyed listening to Die Hard's view of the MS offers and solutions. Thanks for the information, laughs and entertainment over the past couple of years.

[ImTheTypeOfGuy]

I echo everyone elses sentiments. This is a really big blow to the podcast. After Lux left I always wondered how much I would enjoy the podcast if John left because I always enjoyed his wit. Unfortunately I guess I will find out and hope I stil enjoy it just as much.

[vinylfreak]

John , Good Luck!
I for one , will really miss your commentary during the show.
Of course, I will defiantly miss that Polish French Canadian accent. ;-D

Are you from Quebec pcdoc?

Yep, born there and move to the US when I was 6 (800 hundred years ago).

[Sorta Oldguy]

I, too, will miss him. Aside from his knowledge, I always enjoyed the accent. Reminded me of when I used to enjoy watching hockey before the NHL screwed it up.

Six? I'm surprised you remember any of it.

[Greg Welch]

I will miss your expertise and humor. Thank you for sharing 150 plus hours of your time with us.
