Had the pleasure to meet them both at the Bash in Vegas 2 years ago, see them again in the Bahamas, and work with them for some time. Two great guys.
Absolutely, it was a pleasure meeting them, two big guys with cool demeanors. The General is laid-back and Dirty is funny guy, both fun to be around. Best Wishes to you both.
For now, I appreciate all of the well wishes very much. Welcome the new mods and congratulate them, while promising to continue in the transition as long as necessary. I'll continue to read from the posters about this separation of ownership (Yes, I am a minority owner) and then I will try and speak more on things (plans), but I assure you there is no hate nor ill wishes on anyone in my life currently. I'll be around. Again, I really appreciate the well wishes.
Definitely agree about Dirty. Had a great time hanging with him in the Bahamas.
General is borderline comotose.
Kind of a sad day The end of a ERA I think General, Dirty and the late Glaken where the orginal 3 mods at EOG when Shrink founded EOG .

THE MOD SQUAD!!!!
SHRINK-GLAKEN-DIRTY-GENERAL
Hey Guys... I just got home and skimmed through the posts... I am very humbled by the kind words. Had to take my son to the Dr in Atlanta today and just now trying to catch up. They go to bed at 9:30 and after that I will have a better response...
All I ask is lets not turn this thread into a pissing match or about Jman or anyone else. It is about Us resigning from a Place we love and poured many hours into. I have made many good friends here and lets leave it at that for now.
Pete you have my EMAIL give me a shout. General once as a mod at RX saved over 15k for me when a book pulled out and left the scene and I needed a book to offer a bailout. He worked his contacts found one for me, negocaited the terms, worked it out and it was perfect. He is that good. Man I really feel a loss if he is not a forum mod anymore. Just 2 days ago I posted that I go wherever The General goes in shrinks Thread! O man this is stunning. If I can help ya in any way let me know.

Regarding sportsbook dispute... Lets be honest guys, when EOG/Ken *did* go to bat for someone, you had half the damn forum saying "the only reason you are doing this is to keep a certain image up".
While I love Dirty and General to death, any "insurance" you had in disputes arose not from a certain mod talking on the phone to a certain book, but the power of publicity (good or bad) that this forum wielded.
You think Microsoft is able to strong-arm developers because Bill Gates is just a real sweet guy to talk to on the phone?
trytrytry: your description of shady offshore book practices is exactly what I've been talking about in this thread.
Do you think any of the new mods would be able to get you paid in a similar situation?
Can't Waite till dirty and the General start posting all the behind
the seen garbage that goes on at EOG where ever they end up.
Oh wait maybe everyone don't step on there old boss. Two great
guys will be missed!
The new mods have less than zero chance of helping in a difficult situation where connections are needed and relationships...There are few like The General...
