edit title....He threw me for a loop

[MommaMia]

Yup... I saw it coming. I knew Birol was serious about calling it quits.  I am really bummed that he felt he was being hinted at to take a leave of absense.

I am really irritated now by the board killing post and the # of subscriber post.  Not only did they chase away  old friends here... Birol, Angel'smom and who knows who else, but now new folks coming in are going to see them and turn tail.  We are losing on both ends.... losing old friends and potential new ones.  I think those threads should be removed completely.  It's not the fluff posts doing the killing.

Oops!  Didn't notice I had not been accepting e-mails.  I'll fix that

Good idea to make use of the Private Message function to take certain things away from the board.  I am already receiving some messages.

WHAT???  Going?  Going where?  Why?     Well this stinks.  

DON'T DO IT BIROL!  Have you personally met anybody at a Rally that's hinted to you to take a "leave of absence"?  If not, then DON'T GO! You crack me up and I love it!  If you have met them, then tough for them - everybody else here knows how cool you are and since this is the campfire I think you are allowed to "fluff out".   :J   I know it's hard, but don't take somebody's bad day to heart.  We would miss you here.  Unless the moderators personally ask you to stop posting "whatever" , then you keep on talking!  Nobody seemed to mind your post being off topic when you were filling us in on what was happening in Turkey right after 9-11, where they?  (Although that was not considered "fluff")  But we all seemed to appreciate it!  Keep smilin' Birol!  :S
