Senior Member hairbank Posted June 25, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 25, 2007 Everyone, In all seriousness this is a very difficult post for me. I've enjoyed my stay on HTN and really feel a friendship to many of you here. For reasons I will not dislose on a public forum, I have chosen not to be a part of the Hair Loss Community any longer. For anyone who wonders, it has nothing to do with this site, or it's owner, Pat, who I have tremendous respect for. Those of you who have gotten to know me on a more personal level, please feel free to PM me and I'll share with you what I feel led to share. Thanks so much for the friendship over the past few years. Take care, Hairbank 1st HT 1-18-05 - 1200 FUT's 2nd HT 2-15-06 - 3886 FUT's Dr. Wong 3rd HT 4-24-08 - 2415 FUT's Dr. Wong GRAND TOTAL: 7501 GRAFTS current regimen: 1.25mg finasteride every other day My Hair Loss Weblog Disclaimer: I'm not a Doctor (and have never played one on TV ) and have no medical training.

Senior Member the B spot Posted June 25, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 25, 2007 It is tough to see you go, to be honest. It's funny, I remember the ONE time you got pissed off here.... and thinking what a level headed guy, I can't even remember him getting angry before!!! Anyway, I hope in time you will be able to visit here at a later date.

Administrators Pat - Community Publisher Posted June 27, 2007 Administrators Share Posted June 27, 2007 HairBank, How can I or this community ever thank you enough. You have tirelessly helped literally thousands of hair loss sufferers find their way to safe solutions and physicians for years. Your posts were always consistently thoughtful and well thought out. I have always had and will continue to have great respect for you and a big debt of gratitude for all that you have given to so many. In the words of Winston Churchill - "Never have so many hair loss suffers owed so much to so few " (as in you). You really deserve an afro for all that you've done. Forgive me, but I do hope that your retirement is not forever or complete. Even a little Hairbank is better than none. You will be truly missed by me and this community. Best wishes for all that you choose to do. Pat Never Forget - It's what radiates from within, not from your skin, that really matters! My Hair Loss Blog Sharing is what keeps this community vital.
