Life summons me, and I must follow.

About This Message Board
#1

Well, folks, the next two semesters, I’ll be back on a full course load, including three credits each of General Relativity, from a professor who’s been known to assign forty hours of homework a week.

I think you can see what I’m saying here.

With a full course load, I will no longer have time to fulfill the duties of a moderator on this board. This Sunday, the 19th, will be my last day on the job. I do intend to continue posting in all my old haunts, if not necessarily quite as much, and whenever I have a relatively easy week, I’ll crank out a Staff Report or two, so I won’t be a stranger.

Tuba, Lynn, and all, it’s been great working with you.

L-life? What is this…life…of which you speak? Is it some other message board, perhaps?

I have heard there are other message boards, but I am not sure if I believe it.

Do you think–Do you think there are other message boards, and they have people on them?

#3

N-n-n-no! That means that Manny and Jill will have a free run of the place, without Chronos’ level-headed presence! You all know what this means, right? Right?!?

PARTY IN GQ!!!

#4

Hey, yeah! We can post all the drug-related threads in GQ we want, now, right?

#5

Chronos - All the very best for the coming next two semesters, damn! it sounds tough. I wish you well and thanks for doing a fine job of work while you could. Cheers.

#6

Have fun recovering from the RSI. Good luck.

#7

If “Life” has “summoned you” what kind of a pentacle did it use? :slight_smile:

Good luck, dude.

#8

May the shade of Einstein return to help you with your homework . . . (as if you’ll need help).

Seriously, don’t be a stranger around these parts. The place wouldn’t be the same without you.

#9

So that ‘life’ thing has claimed yet another, huh?

Have a good semester, Chronos.

#10

So, can you tell me where I can get some good mp3s?

Or, how to build a bong?

Or, what it would take to (insert something really outrageous but astronomical)?

We’re gonna miss you, Chronos. Lycka Till.

#11

Best wishes, Chronos. It won’t be the same around here without you.

#12

My very best to you, Chronos . . . you will be missed!

#13

Chronos: As someone to whom physics has always been mysterious, I valued your posts: I knew I would be getting lucid explanations and clear examples. Not that they ever made much of a dent in my mountain of ignorance, but that was my fault, and you were always in there trying.

You were a quality mod too.

Thanks and good luck.

#14

You did a fantastic job, David, and are a great guy to talk to. I wish you the best of luck with your busy schedule!

I think the SDMB is still winning overall, though. But the physics geeks are about the last ones you expect to fall prey.

#16

Good luck with the course load, Chronos. I’m glad to hear that you plan to keep posting as time (get it?) permits.

#17

Best of luck, Chronos. I’m glad to see you’ll still be posting…not that I have any idea what you’re talking about half the time, but that’s just me.

#18

Psst, Anth, I’m Dan. David is, well, David. But the thought is appreciated all the same.

Well, OK, I suppose it’s debateable whether physics is life, but something’s sure as heck summoning me. I think that it’s an hourglass-shaped pentacle (figure that one out, geometers!). And I’m a nerd, not a geek!

Just to reiterate: You’re not losing me completely, just the title under my name. I’ll still be answering physics questions.

:frowning: I’m terribly sorry…I meant to type Dan, but had a David on my mind.

Good luck, Chronos!
