Everybody,
Thanks for all the kind words. For the last several days I've been at a bit of a loss as to how to respond, but I suppose it's time to say a few things and get it over with. I'm also hoping that my posting here will also mean that by tomorrow everything will be back to normal and I won't have to stare at this sticky when I pop by to check on things (old habits die hard). I'm a very private person IRL - I have to admit I don't like having all eyes turned towards me, but I digress. I appreciate the compliments, support, advice, and respect I've received over the last two years and hope I've done my job in a manner that was worthy of all of it.
Moderating has been a wonderful experience - I hope I have the opportunity to do it again someday after I get some things in order. This is a wonderful community and the time I've volunteered to watch over this place has always been given with love.
In the meantime, I've been a member of this community for years and I plan to be a member for many more sooo ... let's stop with the byes, the setting suns, and other hoo-ha because I'm not going anywhere. :smiley:

So what's the going rate for a Red-head in his area? Dreddy sigs are in order, me thinks. I also vote for Qbi cake.
The world is full of redheads and this forum is littered with my posts (none of which are terribly sig-worthy) so neither are particularly special. However ...

It's thanks to the big lummox who's leaving us.
... there is only
one Chibi Tatsumaki in the whole wide world and there she is! Q, this 'big lummox' knew all along that any advice he ever gave was completely unnecessary. You have a good head on your shoulders, oodles of common sense; you're caring, responsible ... you are more than capable of taking control of your life and I'm so glad that you are doing just that.
And I love you too. *Big Hug* Chase those dreams!
Qbi said:
(snip)whatever it is he decided to consume his life with next (marriage...possibly...).
Haha, that'll be the day! Nobody wants a dumpy old hermit like me. :grin:

...i don't know how that "big lug" dredd CAN'T get all blubbery after reading your post...i almost did.
You know me well. You're gonna join our little gang on MSN soon, right Dave? We'd love to have you with us. You have all the good zingers.

Time for everyone to fly a Dalek avatar, no?
Daleks were always reserved for crackdowns though. If you insist on flying 'tars, wouldn't redheads be a little more appropriate? Of course, I'd much prefer it if we could just skip that all together and just carry on with business as usual but if it's good for morale, then by all means ... :smiley:
