Paul,

I, too, would like to thank you for your blog. Overall, I believe that you were fair and even in your posts and provided an opportunity for opposing comments and discourse.

The best praise that I can offer is that you keep the same energy and fairness in all your endeavors.

BTW, the next round is on me. Paul,

Great work covering all things Annapolis over the years. I hope someone will fill quickly the void and hope you will use your column to continue highlighting issues that merit public discussion. Enjoy your new found time.

There's no question that your blog had an impact on the community and it will be missed by many: you could be counted on to surface issues that would otherwise not have seen the light of day. We've had our (heated) differences over the definition of journalism, but the bottom line is you put in an inordinate amount of time in what was, as often as not, a significant service to the city and its people.

Good luck with your further ventures.

Paul,
Thanks for your dedicated service.I'm disappointed by your decision to scale back, but I understand it. You covered stories, in your column, blog, and radio show, that the mainstream media ignored, because they didn't fit neatly into their political slant, or required to much effort to research/confirm.We'll miss you.

Hi Paul,

I uttered a loud 'geeeeez' when i read that you no longer blogging ACP
Frankly, I was in awe of the amount of energy you put into doing this --- attending so many functions, meeting with so many people etc.
I will miss reading ACP -- but, I do have some level of understanding that there does come a time when one says "enough" -- time to move on.
You opened my eyes to many things as well as to different ways of thinking about issues. A big thanks for that!

You should have only good things on your new road! (and less stress).

I know you are still in the area -- which is good.

I look forward to seeing where your path leads and wish you the best."
