Well Tal,
I guess I respected you because I didn't know you that well? ..Or did you just have a painfully stressed day like I did?
I left a friendly message on a client's phone while driving in heavy freeway traffic today. Right about the time I'm saying, adieu, some clown nearly punches my ticket and I spew a tie raid of flotsam (f-bombs etc) into my bluetooth. oop.
Tal, did you know your mic is on??
I don't think this board's for me...

Get back to doing what you do best. Making music. C'mon man!
by the way, I still do not see your recent CD on iTunes. The cult of Mac does not allow me to buy music any other way.
ORLY?
I've found other places to purchase music for my Mac. Try eMusic for starters. Then stop being a wuss and Limewire your s***.

Here's a word of advice:
Never announce you're leaving a message board. Most people realize it's a grab for attention because they know, 9 times out of 10, you'll be back. Plus, if you're going for the, "no no, please don't go" thing, and people start saying "good riddance", that can't be fun to hear.
It's kind of like committing suicide. People who really want to kill themselves climb up to the top of a building and jump off. They don't just threaten to kill themselves, they actually do it. People who threaten just want attention.
So either climb down off the ledge or jump. No grand announcements necessary.
Just thought I'd mention it.

God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Ha, ha. Plus its kinda like committing suicide over Wade. That's not a slam against Wade, either, but just think about it man.
Kinda puts it in perspective, no?

Well no, I believe Tal mentioned the problem is not Wade but that others respond to Wade who writes plenty of posts which tend to be off topic to the main initial post . The threads lose focus and essentially nothing is accomplished.

I agree with this for anonymous individuals, but I think people who present their real life identity to boards feel an obligation to explain if or why they intend to leave a board.

Tal's left the board before, marg. Several times. We go for long periods of time without being blessed by his presence. And we still seem to muddle along, having our inconsequential conversations without him. We are definitely a strange group.

Really he's announced before he's leaving? I know this is incidental but when?
