I thought it would be best for the community if I left the site, but before I go I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who posted in response to the discussions I have raised, and to everyone who has PMd or e-mailed me their thoughts.
I extend my thanks to the following:

If it is best for you to leave, certainly do so, but allow the community to decide if it is good for the group. So far, I can't see that your presence has brought us anything negative, only a useful discussion on monasticism and the role of the hermit. A good thing.
You haven't caused any division so there's really nothing to worry about. Aside from the benefits we will receive having you around, this site will almost certainly be of benefit to you. It is a repository of an amazing amount of information and resources that will undoubtedly help you along the path. Even if you'd rather not participate in any discussions you can still read through the archives which contain things like reading lists, Dhamma centre lists, common issues and so much more.
So stick around, even if you don't post. Although I'm surely biased, in my experience this is the best Buddhist forum on the internet. It's been of such benefit to me it's incredible. It got me working on my ego struggles and became my soft place to land amongst people who empathized and challenged me. I hope you decide to stick around.
Be well!
