Leaving
« on: June 21, 2012, 10:00:14 AM »
I'm leaving the forum. Will delete my account, but not my posts, as soon as I post this message. Nothing personal against anybody here. No problem with the forum. I'm just withdrawing from the political internet, in the interest of my own sanity and survival. More at http://billstclair.com/goodbye.html

Blessings and good luck to all.

It appears that I don't have permission to delete my own account. Would a moderator please do so? Leave my posts, unless that violates board policy.

I'll miss ya, Bill. Swing by the Shire in meatspace, if you get a chance, and let me know when you're coming. Hopefully I'll be there to meet you.

If your account is deleted, it will make it very hard to search your posts.

You could just add a note to your signature that you are no longer participating.  Or even modify your username.

Making it hard to search my posts would be good. I just don't want to destroy the flow of the threads I participated in.

A dollar a click? $300/hour? I don't think so. Most forums let members delete their own accounts. For free.

  I think deleting accounts like that speaks  more about  the inability of self control..     Or to do things in moderation.   It's not the sites' fault someone does it alot.   lol
