It's been real, Alex.

good luck, keep your pimp hand strong smacking down evil greedy corporations!

Hey, good luck! I've always enjoyed your posts. Thanks for posting your blog link: I'm going to save it as a favorite.

As the creator of such classic lines as "drank that Drank drink" it's going to be hard to see you go...

Godspeed Alex.
Grip n' sip that purple drank.

It was a pleasure to read your work Alex, good luck.

Editor shrink ray hits Consumerist!

Dangit The Count. You beat me to the shrink ray punchline!

don't the let the door hit ya where God split ya!

i keed, i keed

Good luck on your future endeavors... As an Ex-New Orleanian (living in Houston) I enjoyed reading you post. I'll keep up with your personal site.

@The Count of Monte Fisto:
"Editor shrink ray hits Consumerist!"
-Hilarious.

Good luck Alex, and thank you for writing here! :)

I blame the OP, I mean who boxes anymore.

Anyway, G'luck mate, may the wind never leave your sails.

Best of luck, Alex!

You know, it's probably because I read posts as a feed on another site, but I never know who wrote what. I only click over here if I'm going to comment.

So. Um. I probably liked your entries! Good luck!

@synergy: No Author tag? Or author at the bottom of the post?

You know, this is all the OP's fault. If he hadn't accepted that position elsewhere, this never would have happened.

Good luck

People still read Consumerist? This is what happens. The OP gets what he deserves. JK : )

Good luck! I'll miss seeing you around here. :-)

Don't let the door hit ya on the way out!

Seriously, its been broken for weeks. It closes real fast.

Good luck!

I hope if you get to test cars, you can get CU to start buying the same cars people actually buy instead of loading them up with every upgrade on the list. While it's nice to know which midsize V6 sedan is best among Camry, Accord, or Passat, most people settle for the 4 cylinder versions, which deliver more than adequate performance, better mileage, and smaller price tags. Good luck with your new gig, and keep in touch.

Good luck, Alex!!!

=( Have much fun at your job. We'll miss you.

Bah! The Consumers Union is like the Consumerist for the geriatric set.

Good luck, still :g

Thanks so much for your great articles, Alex. You'll be missed!

Bye Alex, let's definitely get a drink this weekend.

Good luck at your new job. I'll make sure to check out the blog!

This got me thinking:

I think it would be cool if you guys could post something on jobs in the consumer rights for different occupations. I'm trained in graphic design, so I would like to know where I could get a job doing that and protecting consumers at the same time. You could mention jobs that may or may not be available presently because I'd like to know what's possible.

Thanks for your efforts. Good luck at the new gig, keeping the citizenry informed.

We can't miss you until you leave!

Just kidding. Good luck in future endeavors.

Don't go, Alex! If you get a rash on your junk from drinkin' that Drank, you can claim disability since you were injured on the job!

Best of luck -- I really enjoyed your articles.

Best of luck Alex

BTW...so theres a position that just opened up right??

DUDE ALWAYS REMEMBER POLITICIANS CAN BE BOUGHT, BUT YOU CAN'T! If you're going to continue working for consumers, just don't forget it when someone's handing you a big paycheck to look the other way.

Congrats on working with the Consumers Union, best wishes.

Dammit,
I want to work for Consumerist.
I already use the line 'I commentate on Consumerist.com' anytime some idiot company ticks me off. :)
(it gets a great reaction and freaks people out)

But oh well I already have YELP interested.........

@Copperplum: A little off topic, but does that line work on women?
