@MalwareJake -- for serving your country with honor and for fighting the good fight in support of rational facts over anti-intellectual rhetoric, and for your endless supply of reaction GIFs, and for serving as an awesome host on RallySec.

@RallySecurity -- I will let this serve as my message to @oscaron , @benheise , @DAkacki , and @Ajediday : thank you for serving the community and offering entertainment and (occasionally) educational respite.

@nullcookies -- for being an awesome and hopelessly devoted hunter of all badness, and for your awesome tips. @just_some_d00d -- for fighting a dangerous and dark enemy. @ComradeCookie -- for being a devoted and thoughtful member of the community.

@blackroomsec and @ComradeEevee -- for being friggin awesome and honest to the point of brutality. @SwiftOnSecurity -- for being weird despite the strange fame you've garnered and for serving as an inspiration to the community.

@jfslowik and the whole Dragos team -- for being leaders in one of the most critical sectors in America and for doing a damn fine job of it.

@livefromtheabys -- for being one of the few actual political and philosophical intellectuals left out there and for disagreeing with me when I'm objectively wrong. @jckichen -- for putting the good bits of the community on blast and staying true to factuality.

To all the current and former IC and military -- thank you for your continuing and prior service. I hope some day to know of the sacrifice you've given to this country and the world at large, but I know enough to thank you now.

To those of you still devoted to the community -- fight the good fight. Me throwing in the Twitter towel does not give you an excuse to give up. There are a lot of ideas worth promoting and many more worth fighting. Find yourself on the side of the intellectual.
