Thank you Cajun Man for passing that along to us.

Re: Your recent departure

Date: September 14, 2001


Eve,

I was recently informed of your departure from the Straight Dope Message Board (SDMB). I regret to inform you that this action is totally inappropriate and unacceptable, and, sadly, cannot be tolerated. I will expect you back at your keyboard promptly or there will be disciplinary measures taken.

I hope I have made the situation clear to you. Thank you.

[sub]please don’t go :([/sub]

Cajun, could you pass my email addy along to Eve and ask her to email me? Not a big deal, I just wanted to ask her something.

And Eve, if you are reading this: pantyhose are ALWAYS two sizes too small.

eve, as names of nyc posters flew through my mind, your’s was number 2. i’m glad to hear that you are okay.

i will miss your voice here.

I’ll miss you Eve.

::hugs::

I hope you will reconsider.

Au revoir, Eve. :frowning:

Take care and best of luck to you, Eve.

Do come back when you can, dear.

BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Swiddles beat me to the panty hose truism.

and on to more serial subjects:

*Cajun, kindly forward this to Eve. Thanks. *

Eve,

You won’t be able to stay away.

No for long.

At one time or another everyone leaves, yearns to discover a real life with real people out there. Feel sunlight on their face, feel the morning dew on their toes.

But when the real people start talking about the brilliancy of Nostradamus or “what’s the third word that ends in GRY” or the clincher of " Park in a driveway and drive on a parkway" conundrum for those unenlighted, un-Doperfied slack jawed masses, the gooseflesh starts to ripple across the skin. The sunlight that they yearn for will cause wrinkles and skin cancer and in that lovely morning dew’d grass lay a hidden menance: dog poop.

Sooner than later they return to the Straight Dope Sanctuary. Where Intelligence, Wit and Sarcasm are the backbone of our little civilization. Try to find any of that in the cubicles next to you!

Eve, our dear dear friend, you have been through so much. You have your break. You deserve it.

Your wit, sage advice, Dorothy Parkerism and references to wonderful old time movies are definately going to be missed.

But, mark my words, you will be back.

SDMB is more addictive than a caffeinated-crack laced chocolate expresso.

Good Luck. Enjoy the sunshine (wear SPF 30) and watch out for the dog poop!

Love,
Shirley

I, for one, thought of EVE first. Ike, was (snicker) number Two, in my thoughts. Christ, I am going to get flamed for not having the rest of the NY dopers as number one on my
worry list.
