Hi everyone — it’s been a while, hasn’t it?  Sorry for the radio silence, but there is a good reason:  as of September 1, 2010, I will be re-entering U.S. government service.

So it’s time to say goodbye.  Effective immediately, Undiplomatic is going on hiatus.

I want to thank everyone who helped make Undip so much fun.  Thanks to Dan Watson and Val Schrock, who designed and maintained the site.  Thanks to my contributors — Tanya Domi, Ross Hammersley, Chris Larson, Midwest McGarry, Annie Oakley, and Keith Porter — who did such an outstanding job of filling the very large gaps in my background and experience.

And most of all, thanks to you, my faithful and devoted readers.  In particular, I’d like to thank those of you who subscribed to Undip’s RSS feed, whether through the site or via Feedburner — especially those of you who remained loyal subscribers even when the number of posts started to slow down to a trickle.

Thanks to each and every one of you.  I look forward to continuing the conversation.
