		<description>I looked forward to them every day and really missed them this past week. I never was a big raiding type player and really read your posts for the humor and I just really enjoy your style.</description>

		<description>D! Well, not much to say, all the others have said it for me. I think I&#039;ll say I&#039;m glad you come back with another blog, but it&#039;ll sound redundant. So, I&#039;ll say that we&#039;ll help you to make this thingy your new home ^^.

Hope you don&#039;t forget Hobbes !</description>

		<description>Hi Daniel.  I am glad you have another blog to follow.  As a literary agent and editor please feel free to use me as a sounding board for your book at any time.  Miss you over at BRK, but completely understand the reasoning and support you 110%!</description>

		<description>Reading this made me very happy.  I just got back from a week-long road trip with my wife and 6 month old daughter.  Looking at my /played and realizing its 1/3 of my daughter&#039;s life, and reading your farewell post were some of the things that helped me get perspective.  Thanks for that.  Good luck on the book, and I&#039;m looking forward to reading more on this blog.
PS the fridge is starting to smell, you might want to ask TJ to get rid of those old talbuk steaks.</description>

		<description>Daniel- My very best wishes to you, as you certainly deserve it. I have been a big fan, and bought shirts, etc. and I can certainly understand your situation. Nothing in life is more important than family. I will still continue to be a fan. I  have let my father -- who was in the AF -- read your stories. My goodness, have you made a fan. He sits here at my computer and just cackles. He stil doesn&#039;t quite understand how we know each other-- (he just believes you are one of our friends-- fine by me!), but afterall he is 79 years old. 
I enjoy your views on life. I enjoy your stories. It is my fervent wish for you that you find peace- and fulfillment. God Bless You Daniel
Forever grateful-

		<description>I was inspired by you and a few others to start my own blog.  Right around the time you left the BRK blog I started taking some time off raiding on my druid, and I&#039;ve come to realize something... a LOT of time is spent playing an online game when ideally it should be spent with family, friends, and focusing on real life.  I left my old guild, joined a newer smaller one, and I honestly don&#039;t have much of a desire to raid on any of my characters anymore.  It took hearing your story and facing up to some of my own issues to realize that I need to look at my priorities.  I will still run around on my alts, and I may still raid a bit when Ulduar comes out... but real life comes first.  I know the lessons you have learned through your experience must have been difficult, and I&#039;m having a bit of a hard time realizing what I&#039;ve done (or may have lost) over the last few years.  They are hard lessons, but I think we are better off for having learned them now rather than later.  It was always a pleasure to read your blog, and I will continue to keep up with this one.  Your sense of humor and sarcasm are not to be missed.  And your voice is one in a million... hope we get a few Daniel Howell podcasts every once in a while!  Best wishes to you, now and always, no matter where you are. =)</description>
