I'm leaving the board for a bit and thought I'd say a proper goodbye.
I'm leaving mainly because I don't feel that I can say what I like about the progs. I don't want to rehash the arguments that have already been aired on this, but thought I should be clear about it. may be back sometime but it won't be for a while. I won't be lurking, but may drop in on the chat from time to time.
This is a terrific board all over - I just read PVS's thread about positive things the board has done and didn't realise it has been so inspiring to so many people. For me, it has been a comfortable funny place, which has sometimes made me laugh out loud and through which I've met some interesting people. I learned how to be polite on the internet here - mainly by being a galah and then regretting it (my apologies to Frazer Irving, Gordon Rennie, PVS and David Bishop for harping , being rude and generally typing without thinking). Whenever someone is new and rude, I remember what I used to be like (I think I'm more thoughtful now, but at first it was so intoxicating).
If or rather when I get to the UK, I will definitely let you know and see how many of you I can meet in the flesh.
Anyone here is welcome to drop me a line via my address here.
hoo roo all,
Floyd
