Aw crap, Eutychus. Come on back, please. I’m a newbie around here, and one of the reasons I decided to delurk was because of your posts. You’re always intelligent and funny. I’m serious. One of my main reasons for being present on this board **can’t** leave! ☹ ---

Ok, I’m willing to suffer the embarassment that will come when my wonderful, sweet and charming Patrick returns to give us the punchline but for now I have to say…WTF? Euty, you can’t quit. You can’t leave! We love you. You _know_ **I** love you! How many times have I told you that? Please, please, please, please, please tell me you gave up red meat or red vegetables or Red Lobster or something. Please do not be leaving us here. You don’t want me to cry, do you? If you do, I will! I’ll do whatever you want! Please don’t quit! At least come back and give us some info… ---

Cnote, Did it occur to you that Euty may not have been on line since he posted that? Maybe he’s not in the mood to discuss his post at the moment, he may or may not but obviously something is up and until he or one of the other mods pops in to give us some idea of what is going on I think we should sit on our hands to avoid chewing our fingernails until the parties involved are ready to say it was a joke, that Euty is leaving the SD, quit his job, or whatever else the possiblilities are… I am content in letting him do as he pleases, 'sides he’s my favorite mod, seriously, and he knows it. I just hope he is okay and have offered my cyber shoulder if he needs it, in fact I am worried about him and hope he gets back to me soon. ---

**Tech** - I’m not an idiot. I can understand the obvious. Why post a message like that unless your after a reaction? I never had a problem with **Eutychus55** , but obviously, he’s having a problem. If he want’s people to stand up for what he believes, he should cut to the chase and give the minions the real story. This isn’t the vague dope, this is the straight dope- State your peace of mind. ---

Cnote, I am just concerned about him is all. I am not after a reaction, I don’t know what you were thinking when you posted your first post, I can’t read minds and I can’t read into what you are thinking when you post. Sheesh, I really am worried and your post made me have a reaction “what the fuck is it” strikes a cord. Nothing else was intended. ---

Now stop it, you two - kiss and make up…or shake hands, or whatever 😉 FTR, I’m a little worried about Euty myself - I’m certain he’ll be along in a bit to 'splain himself. In the meantime, CNote, please have some patience til he can bring himself to speak about whatever is bothering him. ---

Well, this has gone on long enough. **Eutychus** , please don’t leave us, if that’s your intent. But, since I’m not your boss, you are welcome to quit your job. ---

Dammit, Euty, you can’t do this. You are one of the most liked and appreciated mods on the board. i feel that I can speak for most people and say it would be a sad, sad day if it’s true ☹ Keith ---

Give us a sign. Clearly there is some serious concern here. Some people think it might be a gag. Some that Euty might be departing something for some reason. Some (me included) think that some almighty shitstorm is about to descend on these boards and that there is some feverish activity behind the scenes to prevent this or limit it. Even if it can only be something akin to “processing, please wait”, can you let us know here or in ATMB that this thread has been seen? It’s 3 am in Australia. I want to know what hat to wear when I log in in the morning. ---

Euty’s posting was as big a surprise to us as it was to all of you, we had no inkling. We still don’t know what’s going on, but we are attempting to find out. If he just wants to take a break from moderating, that’s cool, if he needs to go away, that’s the way it goes. Real life has a bad habit of getting in the way sometimes. The bottom line here: we’re his friends and we all care about him. As soon as I find out something I’ll let you know. BTW, we were about to place another moderator on the board this week, so make no inferences about that, it’s a coincidence. In fact, for those of you with pending applications, please make no inference about any of this whatsoever, none of what’s going on affects you one way or the other. your humble TubaDiva Administrator [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-quit/41233.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-quit/41233.md?page=5)
