Thanks for compiling this list. It includes some of my favorite posts, as well as some I missed. Either way I’ll enjoy going back and doing a bit of reading. You came up with some wonderfully thoughtful posts.
Oh wow! I have some serious back reading to do! Although I do recall some of these discussions, some of the others look so interesting …

Thanks so much for the compliation of theoretical excursions. Very interesting reading. I’ll miss your thought provoking posts very much!
Thank you for compiling these posts. I am a relatively recent reader, and this will guide my exploration of what I’ve missed (and stretch out the leave-taking a bit).
I would also like to thank all of you for having taken on this blog. You have influenced me to be playful and take more risks in my own choices, as well as helping to train my eye. Plus I love what feels like a personal connection to all of you.
