Just a quick note to say goodbye to SDMB for a while. Maybe forever, maybe just for a few months. Not sure really.
I love this place and most all of you in it. I spend a lot of time on here, and like to think that in some small way I have helped make this community a better place. Maybe a few too many drive by one liners (some funny, most probably not-so-much-as-i-thought…) and the odd bit of knowledge (read: pedantry) - usually about music or playing music.
I’ve learned an awful lot from the boards - most of it probably useless trivia, but some amazing insights into science, knowledge, politics, and both the depth & mundanity of the human condition. And lotsa puns, humor and the occasional fart joke.
But life comes in waves, and gets more complicated from time to time, and some things must of necessity fade to the background. Now is such a time for me - back in school, working, teaching and gigging - and I will have my hands full enough maintaining a proper balance of those responsibilities.
I wish you all the best, and maybe I’ll see ya around again.
I’ve enjoyed having you around picker. I understand what you mean about life getting complicated. Here’s hoping that one day the dust settles a bit and we’ll see you around again. Happy trails!
Not to second guess you or question your moderating, but I think what ** Rigamarole** was saying is that the SDMB, for all the entertainment, education, camaraderie and frustration it provides, is still just a website. Picker doesn’t have to leave the SDMB just because he has other obligations and responsibilities that consume his time. He can merely go on hiatus and drop us a line when things aren’t so hectic.
Picker, I don’t know you except by name but I wish you well. When you have a break from school, music, life, etc., come on back and visit us here at the home. We’ll leave a light on for you.
