I posted this under the announcement thread, but I thought I should post it as it's own topic, that way everyone has the opportunity to view it.
To all league members;
As Colby stated earlier, I have definite reasons for wanting to come back; in fact, I was sad to have left in the first place. I very much enjoyed the league, the people in it and the sense of community you guys have fostered here, and soon after I left, I was itching to return. Unfortunately, I was forced to leave the league due the overwhelming number of responsibilities that I had earlier this year (work, school, etc.) and I made the tough decision to leave the Giants behind rather than be an absentee owner. I felt that I owed it to the league to be as engaged and active as I could, and when it became apparent I wasn't going to be able to fulfill my duties as I promised when I initially took over the Giants, I decided it was best to step aside and let someone else take over, rather than allow the Giants to wallow. The integrity of the league was my first thought, and I made my decision in accordance with that. During my time here, I felt that I did an excellent job of preparing the Giants; both in the present and for the future, by making smart moves and being a fair trading partner, and I have no doubt that I can do the same with Cubs, given some time. In fact, I believe that I can do an even better job with the Cubs than I did with the Giants, now that I am familiar with the workings of the league, and given the additional resources running a large market club will provide. Also, to assuage any concerns that I may up and leave the league again, my life is considerably less intense than it was a few months back. While I still have work and school, a distracting, time-consuming, and unfortunate personal living situation is no longer present in my life. This situation was one that was a great drain on my time, and it took a mental and emotional toll on me, and I can happily say that it is no longer an issue. I am prepared to re-invest myself in the league with a renewed sense of vigor, and I am sure it will be apparent to all of you almost immediately.
I hope that I have explained myself and the situation in a satisfactory manner, however, if anyone has any questions regarding anything, please do not hesitate to contact me; I would be more than happy to explain myself further should any of you feel the need for me to do so. Thank you for your time, thanks to Colby for giving me another opportunity, and thanks to all of you for allowing me to once again be a part of this league, and this fantasy community.
