Horror Shock Probe – Bernard Cheong steps down

Jan 16, 2009,03:33 AM
 

Fellow PuristS,

 

Apologies for the sensational headlines smile

It is both my sad but proud duty to announce that Dr Bernard Cheong has resigned as Moderator from PuristSPro.

Sad –  because he has been a long-time moderator of Gerald Genta and HWRT fora but had to step down for personal reasons  – to devote more time to his professional and family life.

Proud – because Team PuristS gave me the honour to write this and be the first to tender my best wishes....

Bernard says he would continue to post occasionally but without the responsibility and weight of having to represent PuristSPro officially.

Please join me in NOT saying goodbye but wishing him Good Luck in future.......

Regards,

Melvyn (MTF)

Dear Bernard, you have opened our eyes...

 
 By: Ornatus-Mundi : January 16th, 2009-04:20
for many hidden treasures and enigmas in watchmaking. You have paved the way for the appreciation of watchmaking art 'from the other side'. In fact, your often provocative posts we encouragements for me to take a step back and risk a fresh view. Thank you... 

Best wishes Doc...

A loss to the purists team…

 
 By: raphmeister : January 16th, 2009-23:42
I’m sure we’ll see Bernard posting here from time to time but its definitely a loss to the purists for losing a cool moderator. Some of his posts, especially the more provocative ones, may not be to everybodys liking but I for one, enjoyed him expressing ...  

Au Revoir

Good Luck Dr.Cheong. Will really miss all the FUNNY post. Hope you will still post more of those in time to come. Any newcomer to coax into taking over???? This site sure needs the boost.

Sad to hear the News

 
 By: SALMANPK : January 18th, 2009-01:53

Sad news indeed...

 
 By: Stefano : January 18th, 2009-08:11
but I'm sure we'll still hear from Bernard. Good luck in your new ventures. Stefano

Why?

 
 By: eryck.su : January 18th, 2009-08:22
Okay, for personal reasons blah blah blah... So why exactly is he resigning? There's got to be a real reason behind it other than what is stated. So why exactly? I'm just curious. I know it's none of my business but I am curious (like the cat)....

Hello eryck.su

A great horological treasure

Thanks Bernard..

my optimistic predictions for Bernard

 
 By: jfsuperior : January 19th, 2009-08:51
Bernard has demonstrated repeatedly his voracious appetite for horological matters and, I believe, is deeply afflicted by an addiction that will not be easy to shake off. I give him time (pun intended) and he will manage to be back and share his personal ... 

I will miss you!
