Hey, no problem, I'm just glad people found it useful. It sucks when people we respect turn out to be disappointing. I have to admit, I did continue buying his Star Wars comic because, well, because of my very complicated feelings about the end of the Expanded Universe at the end of the year and I sort of felt...like I had to see that through to the end. But I feel conflicted about that choice and think I'd find it hard to buy things in future with his name on, even though prior to this I had positive feelings about him.
I suppose the thing I find most depressing is that it doesn't seem to have affected his career in any meaningful way. I do suspect that the reason he was quietly replaced on the Conan/Red Sonja crossover event had less to do with it "just not working out" and more to do with the cowriter being Gail Simone and I suspect (though it's pure speculation) that she may have quietly informed them that she wasn't happy to work with him. But other than that? He fell out with DC over something else a while back so I don't think his lack of work there is down to anything particularly noble, and he's taking over Moon Knight at Marvel and launching a new series with Dark Horse. It's all a bit depressing. :(
