Since the higher-ups at MaxPC, Imagine Media, or whoever decided to delete Big Daddy\'s post, here it is:
July 9, 2000
TO: Marcale Wallace,
General Manager of Imagine Media\'s Online Computer Division
FROM: Brad Dosland
After over five years in service to the readers of CD-ROM Today, boot, and Maximum PC--along with the visitors to MaximumPC.com, MacAddict.com, MaximumLinux.com, DigitalFoto.com, the late MacDaily.com, and MaximumPC.co.uk--I am resigning as Editorial Director of Imagine Media\'s Computer division online group.
My decision is based on the diminished role of editorial concerns in the development of sites. Without editorial as the primary architect of the brand, I do not feel the integrity of any publication can be assured.
While I lacked the political skills of many who have risen at Imagine Media, I will miss the freedom and promise that first drew me here. I will especially miss the dedicated editors and artists I had the opportunity to work with, even the late nights and weekends spent in the trenches on deadline.
And I will surely miss the readers.
Signing off,
Brad \"Big Daddy\" Dosland
