Knowing when it's time to go[]

It's a little sad that Chris decided to leave so soon. I thought he was doing pretty well and had a good relationship with the rest of the presenters. But sometimes a person's role in a project is to get it started and set up in order to hand things off to other people. By recognizing that early, he avoided a situation where he might have to be forced out or where his continued presence might hurt the show.

One personal comment I have to make is that if he will be appearing on television more often in the future, he might want to consider a different style of eyeglasses. I'm not so sure the ones he has now are very complimentary to him. It's a small thing, but sometimes small things can affect a person's reaction to something. Back when Martha Stewart was having so many problems, I had said that I thought a lot of the negative reaction to her was due to the tone of her voice. It reminded me of HAL 9000. Maybe new eyeglasses will help Chris be more positively accepted. —RRabbit42 (leave a message) 21:10, July 9, 2016 (UTC)
