"I have to confess, I don't understand the point of starting a blog here on GeeksWithBlogs, barely using it (14 posts in 2 years) and then announcing you're leaving to go elsewhere"

Dude, allow me to offer you a cluestick. He's moving it to a blog site that no one has heard about. Clearly he's a deep thinking who believes his thoughts are so valuable that they shouldn't be indiscriminately shared with the unwashed masses. He's tried to minimize the number of people he reaches by barely posting and keeping post quality to a minimum, but by virtue of being on GWB, the brutes still found his work. He doesn't post enough political stuff to get a site on the HuffingtonPost so lost echies (pronounced Lost Echies like the beer, Dos Equis) was the next best thing. Never posting is a pretty good way to make sure everyone doesn't start reading your blog, but never posting and moving to a really obscure site is the added insurance some people need.
