A tip of the hat

[dbrociner]

Here's to Rosie, who brought me to eGullet and who has been an inspiration to me since back when we were both on Prodigy in the early '90s. Good luck with whatever you end up doing. Where you lead, RS, I will follow. Nuff said.

i think it's fair to say that without rosie, the NJ board would never have gotten as strong as it was, back when, for a time, it was without a doubt one of the most dynamic and interesting boards on egullet, and certainly the most interesting and information-filled NJ restaurant discussion forum on the internet.

thanks, rosie.

the resignations are usually posted in the annoucements section and noted at the top of the main forums page. at least the last 3 or 4 resignations over the past few weeks have been. link

I hope that Rosie stays active as a poster. Her evaluations are very helpful and informative. She can separate the contenders from the pretenders.

I also knew Rosie from the Prodigy days - and she led me here. I will miss her.

Good luck with your other projects, Rosie!

*ETA: aaack! I just saw that Jason Perlow has retired. This is a sad day

I know we hadn't heard from Jason after the "comp" postings and the running back and fourth commentary on the board back in March... so it wasn't too much of a surprise after a month of not hearing from him at Egullet after all, he had seemed to have dropped off the board into oblivion.

Rosie, you are a doll and you will certainly be missed as well. All the best to you and your fantastic other half! I hope we bump into each other again sometime soon, we seem to have somewhat similar tastes when it comes to some restaurants and as an ex-Livingston resident myself, I'm sure I'll see you around. Best of luck to all the "retiree's" at Egullet may your palate and prose have integrity always.

Who ever looks there? I have the Jersey forum bookmarked & then hop around to other forums that interest me.

In addition to being a wonderfully succinct food writer, Rosie always struck me as a generous & gracious soul. Her input here will be missed.

Jason - while I'm not sure that "succinct" applies , "wonderful food writer" certainly does, & I will miss his posts as well.

Or perhaps both still will post? Resignation doesn't necessarily = completely dropping out?

Anyway good luck & fortune to both.

Oh, dear! Resigning doesn't necessarily mean legacy participant status, so let's hope that Rosie and gang et al CONTINUE to brighten our wonderful, complex ever changing eGullet! Rosie, here's a rose for you!

Again, let's hope we keep hearing from the fine retiree's here as time goes on.

Thanks for everything, Rosie. Hope you continue to post...

[pnapoli]

thanks and good luck in whatever you do.

[bigbear]

Thanks, Rosie.

[PaulaJK]

We also met Rosie during Prodigy days...and followed her

here to egullet. She is, as Tommy implied, the mother of

this board/forum. Hopefully she will continue to be an

active poster.

[birder53]

Wow! So many changes so quickly. Good luck, Rosie. Thanks for bringing me here and for keeping the NJ forum on track. You will be missed.

[jwjojo]

Rosie,

You are a talented writer, and impeccable in your fairness and presentation. A class act! I will miss your thoughtful discourse. I hope you continue to post often.

All the Best,

Joana

[Rail Paul]

I'll add my thanks for a job well done.

Rosie has been a class act, from the FoodBytes days to the present.

Best of luck in whatever you choose to do going forward.

Call me naive, but I have a difficult time understanding the meaning of "retirement" as it refers to Egullet. I assume one will continue to goto restaurants, continue to eat, and continue to be interested in food. Posting a comment on Eg may take 3-5 minutes. Why does someone have to "retire"? Surely these recent "retirees" are still eating, and have a few extra minutes in their day to post? Help!!

[Rich Pawlak]

Yes, TRULY, a class act all the way. I will miss her regular commentary and opinions, but I hope she will still frequent these pages often. I'm a huge fan.

I take it to mean retirement from official managing and hosting duties which would take much more time than just posting.

Thank you for your stewardship of the NJ board, Rosie. Good luck in any new ventures, and I hope you and other retirees continue to post when you have time!

[MJP]

I never got the chance to interact with Rosie personally, but I see the influence she feels, and I've seen what happens when a board moderator needs to take their bows and step off the stage. Thanks for your professionalism and spirit. You will be missed!

[Dave the Cook]

As we announced over here, Rosie is only retiring from her staff duties. We hope she will post as often as her busy schedule allows.

With that, and with heartfelt thanks to Rosie for her tireless efforts on the part of eGullet.com and the eGullet Society, we're going to close this topic. Please PM Rosie with your appreciation.
