Wal-Mart watcher site going dark

This is pretty sad news. AlwaysLowPrices.net is going dark. From the announcement:

I appreciate your readership and participation in this venture; it's been very exciting to have a ring-side seat at such an interesting commercial, political, and ideologically prize-fight. I'm sorry to have to exit during an early round, and it is unlikely that I will return to blogging about Wal-Mart any time soon.

I have not been bullied by Wal-Mart into this decision, but have decided -- not without considerable disappointment -- that my direct involvement in an often over-heated public-policy discussion is no longer in the best interests of me or my employer.

This really too bad. I read ALP.net daily. It was a great resource for Wal-Mart news that made great efforts at pointing out the good as well as the bad. It's sad to see it go.

Lucky for me (I have an entry or two working that link to ALP.net), the archives will still be up at his other blog. Also, his other blog looks pretty interesting (another economics blog to add to my list).
