I’m off (everyone knew that already.) Love ya! It’s been a great decade-anna-half. I’ve met some very good friends here. (Plus some real jerks.) New job, no time, I’ll miss ya. This has been a great bunch, and I’ve learned a lot. I’m only putting this in so no one needs to wonder, “Say, whatever happened to ol’ wossname? Hope he didn’t have an accident.” Nah! Say goodnight, Gracie! ---

Been fun knowing you. I’d hate to wonder what kind of job leaves no time for the SDMB (says the father of 10 with a full-time job at which he occasionally works overtime who reads and posts) but I wish you all the best. ---

> [@cmkeller](#): > > I’d hate to wonder what kind of job leaves no time for the SDMB… Seriously. And like, why make a big deal about it? It’s a message board; it’s here when you want it and not here when you don’t. Why do people feel the need to make some grandiose exit, as if they’ll never have two seconds at some point in the future to drop in and see what’s going on? ---
