All things come to an end, eventually.

Dear Reader,

Some things happened lately in Switzerland. While bank giant in Zürich named Crédit Suisse collapsed -and- fell as a prey to its competitor located at the other side of the same street, equally a tiny publishing tool company based in Lausanne named Paper.li has decided to "sunset".

So yesterday I got an email titled "Saying Goodbye: An Important Message from Paper.li ".

Upon asking support for some more explanation, I got this reply:

So this is what I'm doing right now. For about 9 years I have been assembling selected readings by means of this tool, to create a kind of basket which I subsequently filtered and shared to you as a 'magazine', for those who were interested, and on a weekly base. Hence also the title "Saturday Morning Post". It started a bit as a gimmick for me, but it ended with some 200+ Paper.li regular subscribers and recently with some 400 LinkedIn subscribers. It took me almost 8 years to reach 200 subscribers on Paper.li but 6 weeks to reach 400 subscribers on LinkedIn. So it is also clear that LinkedIn is doing a far more 'fruitful' job than Paper.li concerning the 'reach' and I was contemplating anyway already that maintaining the two is likely somewhat confusing for most of you... But circumstances decisively took place and so I am afraid I have to tell you that the 'Saturday Morning Post' will not continue any longer in its current format.

I can do a number of things now.

A. I can stop writing. Being vintage year 1958 and turning 65 this year somewhere in September (when the summer is changing to autumn), one could be convinced that 'it was enough'.

B. I can continue on LinkedIn. The question here is then 'in what format?'. A weekly editorial is fun, yes for sure but - some of you will recognise - is also a burden.

So I decided for the moment to not stop writing entirely, as I still love it too much, but to transform the current format of a weekly magazine to a more irregular format of very short essays (or let's call it 'scribblings' rather) about one specific topic or event that happened in the field of entrepreneurship, economy, cars, digital, markets, finances, math,... or whatever that strikes my eye and I feel is worthwhile writing about and sharing with you.

I do hope for some interactivity and do feel free to react in any way you want. You'll all be my brutal master and upon declining subscribership I will draw my own conclusions and stop singing.

Cheers ??
