Spectre of Pithecanthropus has retired.

[del]He’s escaped.[/del]

Seriously, he has stepped down as a moderator and has returned to quiet, peaceful, happy real life.

I do remind him that, like the song says, “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.” So he’ll still be around, teeming like everybody else.

We thank him for his service and wish him all best, always.

I’ll certainly be around, enjoying more time for regular posting–and reading without having to go beyond the diligence customarily due when reading a message board.

A model mod.

And just when I learned to spell your name without looking.

When you receive your first warning you can feel truly free, *Spectre of Pithecanthropus.
*See? I didn’t even look when I typed that.

What? You’ve had eleven years…

I kid, of course.

I know.

Technically though, it’s eleventy. To cover all parallel universes.

We’re support to be customarily diligent? Oops.

Congrats and thanks for your service!

Thanks Pithy. Hope your time is more enjoyable now.

Thanks for your efforts to make this board a pleasant, civilized and jerk-free place, Spectre of Pithecanthropus.*

*You’re right, that’s not easy to spell.

Thanks for your moderate contribution, Pithy – enjoy your return to civilian life.

Thank you very much for your service, Spectre of Pithecanthropus. Enjoy returning to normality or whatever passes for normality around here.

This is exactly like when they told me Fido had gone to live on a farm.

Your name reminds me of a cantaloupey ghost!

It’s been a pleasure to mod with you, and I wish you all the best in the future.
Please remember to return the five-gallon jar of Castor Oil, though?

Does he get to keep the jackboots?

Agreed and seconded.

Yeah, but he has to return the swagger stick…

Good luck Euty. You’ve been a great moderator.

Did he quit because we were bad?

I think it was overwhelming guilt at issuing me my first ever warning.

Let that be a lesson to the rest of you mods.

Wait, Euty? Is there some connection I don’t know about? But that means one person would have two accounts! Le gasp!

I think he mixed up the nicknames Euty and Pithy. Eutychus is also a retired mod.
