come ooooon Eirene

Congrats on an excellent run. Maybe we aren't supposed to play favorites, but you were mine. I think you've made a real difference in what our readers think is possible for women, and you were never squeamish on tough topics. You'll be missed... Don't be a stranger!

Yeah, you've definitely been a major strength on the Board in recent years. Good work!

Amen!

Eirene, you're amazing and reading your answers was always educational and a treat. Thanks! Good luck with medical school and what not.

Eirene was one of the few writers who could make me change my mind about something. (I don't know if that says more about her well-reasoned persuasiveness or my stubbornness.) You'll be missed!

Eirene was one of the first 'nyms I really would follow. I recognized that writers used the same 'nym, but she was the first one I really looked for in answers. (I read all the answers, usually, but I still like looking for some writers particularly.) We'll miss you. Best wishes on the rest of life.

Wow, talk about warm fuzzies! Thanks, guys!

Eirene will be sorely missed by me as well. She is a tremendous voice of reason and kindness. Plus, all our medical questions will be just answered by telling people to see a doctor. Like in http://wondermark.com/941/.

Eirene, I'm going to miss you, your eloquence, and your perspective, big time.
