As I leave you I want you to know--just think how much you're going to be losing

"As I leave you I want you to know--just think how much you're going to be losing--you won't have MrE to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last thread." - adapted from a speech given by Mr Richard Nixon

As it was phrased in a recent PM, the recent F.net outage served as a healthy shot of Methadone. I nearly relapsed, but I now know that this is the right course.

I'm currently in the process of cleaning out my virtual desk, and am looking forward to a bright future.

I'll stick around until 12 AM Saturday Night / Sunday Morning.

Til then....

All your posts are now belong to us. G.W.

Peace.

Gah, for once I'm legitimately upset over someone leaving.

[Mr Epee]

Consider yourself lucky that it's not one of the "Fencing Experts" leaving.

Then this place would be in a world of hurt.

[JackSparrow]

Doesn't this belong in the water cooler. Only joking I hope you decide to rejoin us at some point. The forum is better with you here. Thanks for all the irreverance, sarcasm and sanity that you brought to this place. I for one think it needed it.

[D+F+P=Hadouken!]

Cold turkey eh?

Cool.

Not that you're bitter, right?

[Mr Epee]

heh-heh

Actually, I'm leaving for health reasons.

One more ratings, shoe, or "is this legal" thread and I just may take that little trip down the highway and not across the road... if ya know what I mean.

Consider it self-preservation.

I intend to vacation to Casablanca... for the waters.

I sincerely hope that I haven't been misinformed.

You know, I HAVE been meaning to ask about the legality of... never mind.

I'm gonna miss you, man. I had such fun delving through the USFA's 990 form last year.

[Mr Epee]

Yes... yes it probably does.

But instead I put it here as a special shout-out to my special woman.

Now accepting nominations for next Epee Curmudgeon. Also, Foil Curmudgeon. The position of Sabre Curmudgeon is already filled.

nah, it can stay here for a while.

I owe you at least a beer for the insight and laughs you've provided.

bummer- from witty repartee- to sound advice- to biting sarcasm, pm's and sermons, ah the memories, if we cross paths lets grab a beer or margarita.. better yet both.

[Redblade]

Are shoe ratings legal?

[RITFencing]

So, any special words of wisdom in parting?

EDIT: Also, I've got to wonder if, like Nixon after that speech, you'll be back in a while.

Great reference. You leave with class.

I think that pretty much says it all. Yes, I've decided to remain.

Please, don't cry for me; I am far healthier now than when I first started wearing the aluminum hat. It's just that after reviewing the state of my life and certain drug dosages, this is definitely the right time to not go away.

I'm staying. This has not been an easy decision, so don't try to dissuade me now. My mind is made up. Here I am and here I shall remain.

What about...

"We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender,"

The Island of Epee will be ever so much more vulnerable without your stalwart defence of her, though in this virtual age, you may certainly fight in Morocco as easily as Epeeton, USA. I know I'll miss you, but can certainly appreciate the difficulty of kicking the habit. I think I've quit a couple of times.

*grin*

Best of luck man.

James.

I've said this (although I didn't post it). He'll be back. Anyone that has that many posts has to vent his opinions somewhere.

He'll wonder what's going on, or there will be a rule change, maybe log on as a "visitor", see an asinine post (something like this post), he won't be able to stay quiet, then that's when he'll get sucked in again.

or Maybe he's planning a "Michael Jordan" and come back 3 different times...

or Maybe he really wants to be known as "Mr. Foil".

What ever the case may be, I wish him well.
