It's been fun

It's my 500th post and Eulogy. I've become a "Senior Member", a great achievment for me in the 2 years I've been a member, but it's time to move on.
I've enjoyed my time in this community, and the help and advice I've received to some of my posts has been invaluable, and I thank you guys for that.

This is not grandstanding (I mean that) and I don't have an axe to grind with anyone. 500 and not out is a great way to go, so enjoy the music and the equipment!

Thanks and best wishes

Clive

PS A special goodbye to Fritzy and Mick, don't ask me to explain why, It's just a mad 5 minutes

Hi Clive,

I agree it's a great way to go out and I'm pleased you clearly have the strength of feeling to be able to say.."yep it's been great but that's all folks, thank you and good night" - would that I had such fortitude!

However, I would like to say that, certainly from my point of view, you will be missed but that in any case you're a long time gone and who knows....one day you might be back! I'm sure you'd be made very welcome once again.

In the mean time, good-bye and good luck!

Cheers,

Jon

Best wishes and all that but you should never say never.

I presume there's something going on behind the scenes and I hope it works out for you.

So Clive, are you still checking back to see whether people are replying to your farewell post?

I reckon you'll be back (and not as the governor of California either) because from my short time on this board the people that truly leave are the ones that never post about it.

As a fellow self-abuser here, I too thought seriously about leaving at 1000 posts. (Loud cheers: off)

Then I realised that this is by far the funniest, most intelligent and probably least-antagonistic forum I've found so far. My often deliberately-pedantic contributions notwithstanding, I rarely get told to feck awft. I think this has a lot to do with the self-confidence of the other members here. Only those with cavernous self-doubt suffer others to feel the slings and arrows of their feeble textural wrath from behind the safety screen of online anonymity. One so quickly tires of such behaviour.

Besides, compared to our usual addictions, hanging out here is cheap, relatively harmless and safely avoids us competing too regularly for the Darwin Awards on our other, more-specialised fora.
