Farewell, and thanks for the fun

[NorthernDevo]

Hey all; I'm writing this to let you know that I won't be associating with this forum any more. Not for any reasons of ill-will or argument, nothing like that at all. I've enjoyed every moment I've spent in this forum. It's just that as a person with a very limited time budget, I found myself wasting time in unnecessary conversations online; taking me away from more important matters. (Which is probably the most important value of the Internet when you get right down to it.)

According to web-forum principles; it is nothing for a member to simply stop posting; but in Human terms it would be rude to leave without a thank-you and a tip of the hat, so please let me say that for the brief time I was with you, I enjoyed the fun and camaraderie of our association. The problem is that my time is very limited, and I have to draw the line somewhere so I will thank you kindly and back out with a smile.

You have a great, fun forum filled with wonderful, interesting people. Perhaps I'll have the opportunity to rejoin you one day.

Thanks folks - a toast to you!

Bye.

It was nice meeting you Devo, and best of luck with the book!

Well, shiver me timbers. I actually enjoyed your posts. Not that I agree with the dramatic exits, mind you, but I valued your spirited reports from the printing presses.

Ohhhh crap...

Just got back from my latest round of rehab, and now I get to cruise the web and deal with the simply hilarious results of my last..er...event. I have to visit every site I inhabit and make sure I deal with any weirdness I might've caused. I trust you'll notice the heavy irony of the word 'hilarious' above.

I'm sorry for this post; I have the same opinion of dramatic posts as the above comment suggests. I just wasn't at my best. At least here I'm lucky; all I did was announce my departure which was - while true on the surface - otherwise quite unnecessary. On other fora there is much more damage to repair - though they know about my PTSD and related psychological issues.

Please accept my apologies.
