ML come and go, be it by choice or forced, all part and parcel of this trade la. Some of these "fan favourites" either been here pretty long or is their 2nd or 3rd stint, so there will come a time to bid farewell regardless. Plus the saying of familiarity breeds contempt has some truth, those been around too long or very seasoned due to not 1st timer, tends to become either jaded or go through the motion. Not all, but most, it's just human nature. Most important is let's not get too emotionally attached to them, if at all. Departing favourites oso mean it "force" us to try other MLs whom we may otherwise not consider, and i have found my fair share of pleasant surprises in this manner. So it's hardly gloom and doom, there will also be someone to fill the void
