John, I totally understand your point, and I really respect your decision, but it would be my earnest request to stay back, just stay and write whenever you want to, read, whenever and whoever you want to! I would never really like you to go away from Medium, and miss your writing and Percy's too! That would be too, too sad for me! But again, as I said, I respect your decision, and if you still feel like leaving, we can stay in touch via email. Please let me know, and I will share my email ID via private note. Take care!
