You just do this to make us realize how much we miss TOP when it's not there, right?
Looking forward to your return.

Moose,
No, I really don't want anyone to *miss* TOP. I want you to always find it here when you want it. That's *really* what I want.... :-)
Mike

Calculon said it best.

TOP down, gee one would thing summer has arrived and the TOP is down on your car!
Posted by: Bryce Lee | Thursday, 02 February 2012 at 04:14 AM
Hmm, too much tea and coffee of late, methinks ...
Posted by: m3photo | Thursday, 02 February 2012 at 06:24 AM
Mike..as a midwesterner and slightly your senior, could I counsel less coffee grounds, teabag, and health issues. Let's just say off topic. thanks.

For strange values of "down"; I can still see existing content.
Well, whatever. Last I checked I wasn't the one with the gold making the rules here. I hope whatever you're dealing with goes well!

Maintenance?? Pray tell what's up?
Posted by: Eric Rose | Thursday, 02 February 2012 at 09:17 AM
Oh, Boy!
Owing to the (pat. pending) Johnson effect, this greatly increases the chance of a major, unexpected camera announcement over the weekend!

We have to wait *that* long for your take on the K-01?! Oy.
Posted by: Shawn Barnett | Thursday, 02 February 2012 at 11:41 AM
I hope it's not because I haven't been ordering enough stuff through the B & H link. I can always order more if it'll help. Just don't tell my wife.
Posted by: Jeffrey Lee | Thursday, 02 February 2012 at 12:55 PM
Oh no, where are we going to find erudite views on the Pentax K-01 now?
Posted by: Antony Shepherd | Thursday, 02 February 2012 at 01:49 PM
Best of luck to you Mike. Hope everything goes as planned
Posted by: Jerry Stachowski | Thursday, 02 February 2012 at 08:48 PM
I notice that the Ricoh GXR had a new 16mm module coming out in APS-C with a kind of interesting zoom lens. Wish you were around to comment on it.
By the way, did you see that the the new Fuji Pro is gonna be ~$2300 with one lens?
Posted by: John Camp | Friday, 03 February 2012 at 12:31 AM
I suppose a recent comments menu is out of the question? heh.
Posted by: The Lazy Aussie | Friday, 03 February 2012 at 03:13 AM
Good luck with whatever it is that needs maintenance, Mike!

Dear Folks,
Actually, it's Mike secret plan to convert this to "TOP: The Online Potable -- All Beverages, All The Time."
