According to this post at Golden-Roat.net, Kathy "Fingers" Greco handed in her resignation.

Certainly wasn't today. I know the word was out around the office around the end of August.

That comment/blog board over at priceisright.com didn't help any...it's basically 99% of fans who want to see the show revert back to circa 1980, bob's black hair and all.

I took out the today part John. I was under the impression it happened today. I misread it, my bad.

I'm sure the same people who were crucifying Greco on her blog post will now crucify Mike Richards for her resignation retirement.

Sounds familiar.
-
99% is an exaggeration. But certainly the site is a lot more tolerant of fanb01z than we are. And FWIW, the official site's boards aren't terribly better.
I tend to accept that the site has a niche audience with a member tone befitting the show (spastic and over-reactionary) and use it for the resource it is. And it is a good resource.

Must've been fairly recently then -- she was posting on her blog (http://\"http://www.priceisright.com/blog/entry/460\") as late as last Thursday night.

It's just funny how some people can't move on. I like old-school Price just as much as the next person, but I don't mind the changes that have taken place over the years. The game is still the same, and while Drew will never be Bob Barker, he does a great job filling his shoes. Hell, I don't remember my parents ever saying "OMG, I WANT THE SHOW TO GO BACK TO WHAT IT WAS WHEN BILL CULLEN WAS HOST!" This is no different.

You do realize you linked to a blog entry from 2009, yes?

If you can* navigate down to the comments section, she posted a string of blog comments answering questions Thursday. She is/was answering comments from that blog post since its initial posting.
*Their site is garbage

There are, however, several "Older Posts" made by Kathy last week.
I wonder if she gave them X number of weeks' notice in August and just recently finished.

Yes, I do realize that. But as others have said, if you had bothered to scroll down, you would've seen the 900+ comments posted at the bottom, with Greco most recently posting on September 23rd.
She used the comments section of her blog entries (she posted two) to answer questions posted by fans.
*Their site is garbage
Couldn't agree more. It looks like they got an intern to design a content management system from scratch. They could've easily gotten an actual message board package for free and probably could've put a much better designed site up using WordPress or something similar. Instead, it's garbage.

Kathy is still working. Will be for awhile yet.

So i'm confused....is she in or is she out?

Announced her retirement effective at the end of the year.

The production year, or the calendar year? (Or are they one in the same?)
Not that it matters..I think it's obvious she won't be around for Season 40.

Calendar year 2010.

The old days of golden-road before the messageboard were alot better. When the messageboard came into play, the flood gates of hell swung open for the marks and psychos.

That's the internet in general.

Whoever does the setups does them as instructed. If the E.P. says "make them hard", they are made hard.

Update - FWIW, someone on www.golden-road.net with supposed "insider knowledge" says that Kathy is retiring. If so, then she's leaving on her own terms. Good for her if that's the case.

The someone is ClockGameJohn. Was also one of the posters in this thread.
There are about 5 or 6 regulars on that site whose statement I would take seriously in this situation. He's one of them.
