INAUGURAL ADDRESS

Dear metafriends,
We all know that the esteemed Chair is someone we shall always look up to, or sit down on. His legacy, his fine legs, strong back, comfortable demeanor have allowed us to all rest easy here on this site. It was Chair's decision to relinquish his role. A great leader he is, preferring to step aside than to rule with a questioning and troubled heart. I believe he feels his tapestry is weakened, and if he doesn't spend some time mending, we could fall through his seat.
BUT -- many a great leader has resigned to come back yet stronger. Chair shall re-emerge, and perhaps, at first, we won't recognize him when he does.
I have watched and learned from The Chair. I have travelled seas wide, sharing space with leaders and peasants, the oppressed and the oppressors. I was part of the founding club. And like Belinda, I am parachuting into this new role. But, ofcourse, the job may return to the Chair if he decides to re-emerge after his self-appointed break.
In the end, Heisenbergate will be just a tiny spot in the the chapter of Chair's legacy.
I am here to serve, to tread lightly, and to encourage my fellow blog men and women in their excellence, both ethically and practically. To help provide voice to the voiceless.
It is an honour and a priviledge,
I remain,
At your service,
CONCH CHAIR
