I will no longer posting on your forum.My choice.Hope you all get your Draggin' Bagger issues resolved!.......JB.[sm=biker2.gif]
Duh, what issue? There are a lot of other threads around here. If you can't handle the heat...yada yada yada. Why anyone would choose to stay or nay because of one thread...just dosen't make sense to me. If I left everytime I got riled about something...well, I would be spending a lot more time cleaning out my fridge.
Ok, so I had to go back and read the "original" threads to see if I could figure out why this poor guy felt compelled to announce his departure... twice.
At first I got to thinking he must be a DB plant on the forum... not likely, as DB couldn't possibly plant a worse "spy".
Then I got to thinking, he must be GOOOOOOD friends with ONES... you know, that Internet Chat room kind of friendly. But then again, a big no to that too.
So that left me with little more than a bunch of adjectives which I have sworn off using for the balance of this year. (getting a head start on the new year's resolution thingy - less use of "lowbrow English" - it can be awkward to use 4 letter variants right in the middle of a corporate presentation)
And then the epiphany.... His proclimation of departure has generated him more message space and attention than anything that happened within and around his posts in other threads. This thread/posting was his attention generating equivalent of a suicide note. He just accomplished in "death" what he failed to achieve in "life" - somebody (that would be us) paid attention to him for at least a few minutes....
