… see you real soon. K E Y… Why? Cause we’ll miss you. Hey, it’s a natural thing, but if you ever want to come back, the door’s open and there’s a place at the kitchen table. ---

I won’t say goodbye. I will say Until Next Time. You will be missed. ---

Indeed. If I ever stopped posting here, I’d still pay my $7.49 for the first coupla years away, just to keep the door open. ---

**Casey1505** , no problem man, my pleasure! And I’m also one of those who doesn’t say “Goodbye”, I’ll just say “See you later!” Either way, I’ll also reiterate the “Vaya con Oggos!” Tripler “C’mon back now, y’all!” ---

Well, I’d come with you, but I’ve already re-upped, so that would be a serious waste of $7.50. 😉 Seriously, guys, take care of yourselves, and have fun! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/and-now-its-time-to-say-goodbye/353670.md?page=1)
