Goodbye posts

I think it just comes down to personallity. For a lot of the people who leave and have been in a community for a long period they may have too many acquaintences to contact them individually.

Text and tone is difficult to read in text, and what might be just a cheery informative message and a wave goodbye, can be seen as a snotty "I'm taking my ball and going home".

I have no doubt that LBT gets back on a fully even keel and continues to provide the support it always has.

Let me give you a little bit of irony. I don't like posts about the practice of posting goodbye notes, any more than I like the goodbye posts themselves.

Confused? I am! :puke:

And then there are people like me. I remember once when I left a board and didn't leave a "Good-Bye all" thread. I came back a few weeks later to lurk and found out that they were still hung over from the celebration they had when they figured out that I was gone.

Here's an issue, I don't like posts that tell people what they should and shouldn't post but by stating that I am, in essence breaking my own rule.

Oh well I guess I must be a hypocrite

I don't think I told anyone to do anything. I asked.

I don't think I said you did, I made a statement thats all.

I think if she doesn't like it, she shouldn't read it.

I don't like poverty but the other day I was in a major American city and the highway I was on went directly through a run down area, I wish they wouldn't build highways that travel through impoverished communities.

I just don't want to see it!!
