Just wanted to say its been fun.
I wish you all the best in everything you do.
I’m sure I’ll check in now and again, so make sure you do your best to keep me entertained! 
(And I’ll try not to let the door hit me in the ass on my way out!) 
See you on the golf course!
Will you be lurking and/or seeing us ChiDopers at the occasional lunch?
Nope, get your ass back in here. This bird won’t fly.
I haven’t been posting much, and of course I didn’t bother to search the boards for a rant, so I’ll just go ahead and ask: Dinsdale, are you protesting the $/membership fee?
If you just heard a long, drawn-out howl of NOOOOOOO! that was me.
I’m sure you’ve carefully considered this decision, Dinsdale, but damn. I really enjoy reading about your adventures in parenting. You’ll be missed.
Bye! It’s always a shame to see dopers leaving.
Hate to see you go Dinsdale, you were one of the good ones. Best of luck to you!
Maybe sometime down the line you’ll rejoin us. 
Naw. Not a protest. More like using it as an excuse to get of my butt and try something else. I’ve been hanging out here for a couple years and a couple thousand posts. It’s a really comfy place. But of late I’ve wondered if it was too easy for me to hang here, instead of trying different things.
So I’m choosing to view the fee as a boot in the ass. (The folks on my village and planted aquaria boards no doubt wish I’d stick around here! I’m sure they’d gladly pay my $5 to have me get lost!)
I’d say it’s onward to better things, but seriously - what could be better?!
lieu, you’re such a sweetheart.
And eva - I’ll welcome lunches as an opportunity to play hooky from work. But Dopefests? That would mean hanging with you folks on my own time!
What, we’re not good enough for you? I promise we’ll bathe and generally behave ourselves. Well, OK, I promise I’ll bathe and generally behave myself - can’t vouch for the others.
Yeah, better speak for yourself on that one.
Din, I just picked up golf again. Who’s gonna help me figure why my Cobra’s turning our once green Big Thicket into the Black Forest? I drive like a dedgum rotary sprinkler.
See ya, Dins. It’s been a slice.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Dammit.
I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but we’ve taken a vote and decided that the top 10% of entertaining threads will be limited to subscribing members. 
Seriously, you will be missed. I’m sure there are a number of folks that I’ve come to know and love who aren’t subscribing, for whatever reason, that I’ll miss.
Best of luck in everything!
Dins,
I will miss you. I’ve always had a little crush on you and now you are leaving. Best wishes.

Hey Dins, as you know,Golf is a Very Humbling Game…
So when you shoot a Double-Bogey Round or the Course is under-water…
Grab some CoCoa and Log Back on!
Was it something I said ?
Yes. Yes it was.
Might be joining you. Not sure. Going to see if EddyTeddyFreddy (or some other kind soul) might do a paypal for me and get a fiver in the mail week from now or whenever, but haven’t heard back from him (I can’t see e-mail addies).
Blackeyes, if you are over 18 I will pay the 5 bucks, whether you send me the money or not. e-mail is jlawley@directcon.net
