Professor Schaff is retiring from blogging, and so SDP will have to make do without him. I urge all our loyal readers to look up his gmail address and send him a passionate note urging him to reconsider. It won't make any difference, but maybe he could use the warm fuzzy. And anyway, if it doesn't work, I'll try giving out his cell phone number next. I also know when his birthday is. Be afraid, Jon. Be very afraid.
Jon and I started blogging at the same time, so it will be a new experience doing this without him. I have to confess that I think our blog has been a pretty good production. I will go so far as to say that our readers might have learned something from time to time at these pages, or if not, at least they may have been entertained. SDP is a moderately conservative blog. Our three regular members, Jon, myself, and Jason, once took a test of political identities. I found myself pegged as a conservative with libertarian tendencies. I think that is correct. I can't remember the results for my colleagues, but I think it is clear that anyone reading these pages could expect mostly conservative view with the occasional surprise. But Jon and I complemented one another is useful ways. Anyone curious about that need only consult our posts on science.
Jon wrote his posts shrewdly and with flair. He is, though I will later deny I said this, a pretty bright guy with a lot of information under his belt. Jason and I couldn't have asked for a better colleague. SDP will be a poorer production without him.
