After this many years here I feel I should say something as I go, and wish you all well in the continuing fight against ignorance. Especially against the worst form of ignorance : the assumption that a strongly-held opinion is the same as a well-informed one.
I have one thing to say before you go.
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!’
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

I hope to see you return someday.
Goodbye and I wish you well.

Hate to see anyone go, especially a good egg. Hope its nothing that’s happened here but merely a quest to spread the word that’s driving your departure.
Good luck to you.
Amen, brother. Godspeed to you.

Stop by and see us sometime! Best wishes to you.
“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.” --Jack Keroauc
Good luck and drop by again!
Bon Voyage! I hope your absence is a minor setback and that you’ll return soon!
Ditto.
You realize the rest of us are going to have to pick up the slack in the fight against ignorance caused by your departure.
You should reconsider and stay for the greater good of the board.
mkay? If not, best of luck to you and keep in touch.
Ah stay please.
Bye. You’ll be missed.
And I, too, hope you come back at some point. Either way, thanks for letting us know.
“Why can’t we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn’t work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.” ~Charles M. Schulz
Fare thee well Slithy Tove. Yours has always been my favorite handle.
…you’ll come back and visit sometime, right?
