Outgoing Slate Writer: "People Rarely Leave"

After eight years, Slate writer Daniel Gross has decided to try a new venture as a columnist for Yahoo Finance. But as he departed, he wrote quite the exit post. It’s not odd in that he reminisces about his time at Slate, but in how much he praises the online magazine.

The writers who held down this column before me handed over a great audience in the summer of 2002. Excellent editors, careful copy editors, and brilliant illustrators improved my work greatly.
