The Inevitable Farewell
Posted: Fri Feb 01, 2008 11:53 pm
Those of you who have known me online for a while know that my pattern of participation on message boards is like a bad relationship in an old country song: when I return, I'm bound to leave again....
Message-board participation is one of those things I just can't seem to keep in balance in my life, or do in moderation. If I could bring myself to post sparingly, or only in times of winter, cold, or a famine of other things to do, I would. I just can't seem to manage it. So I always have to leave, and now is no different. I'm 'investing' waaay to much time here. So...
I'm leaving.
I don't make this announcement because I think you'll care that I'm leaving (though some of my friends here will), but because I care about actually following through on my decision, and making a public announcement is a good way to pressure myself to stick to it.
After tonight, I'll be leaving all threads except the one on a nonsupernatural God, which I want to continue with till it runs its course. And I may pop in to the chatter box (chat room) once in a while.
Oh, and...those of you here in my area who get to lunch now and again (you know who you are), please be sure to invite me!
