    There is nothing more ridiculous than someone like myself creating a thread to say goodbye. So be it, I am often the most ridiculous fool I know.

    I no longer create websites and as has been rightly pointed out, I do nothing but engage in futile debates on this sub-forum. There is only so much hot air to go around, and it's time for me to go.

    Shaun, congratulations on one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, a global nexus you've created, and I am glad for your success and wish you continued prosperity and fulfillment. Mods, thank you for doing what you do. Pusillanimous assholes like myself just have to get old, but you do your job with the utmost in professionalism; I applaud your professionalism.

    I wanted to thank the folks I've learned from - many, from across the aisle. In this regard, and with respect, I wanted to tip my hat to Gtech. You've kept me honest, made me think, brought laughs from time to time, and I have gladly come to know you as a friend. "My folks" on this side of the aisle - keep up the fight. I earnestly believe most of us want the same thing, and only differ on how to get there.

    Peace. May the world sleep in brother and sisterhood one day.

    Paul

    It's better to burn out than fade away. Best of luck in all of your future endeavors.

    Let the man go in peace. I suspect there are a few people around here (including myself) whose time could be better spent making money than shooting the breeze.

    Bye North, you were one of the most thought provoking in the P&R section. You kept a good attitude and refrained from being childish (like so many do here.)

    I appreciated your posts in a room so void of real thought.

    Paul,

    You're a professional and as success goes in your branch of business as a chef you're living it under the motto, --

    Not to much but that what's on the plate is of the best.

    Thank you for your intelligent posts.

    Bleh.

    A shame. You are one of the most respectable posters here. Visit us sometimes, for a debate or two!

    Cheers man... :(
