Can I ask that people, rather than posting dramatic "goodbye" posts, just PM the people that they care about?

I am really over seeing the "Goodbye I have found support elsewhere" type posts. If you have found better support somewhere else, fantastic! I am really pleased you have have found somewhere that is a better "fit" for you. I really am.

But posting about it like that does little, other than make the remaining members ask why you left. And "what is going on now".

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.

Dang!!

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!!

FYI, that was an attempt at humor,

just in case it wasn't completely evident:)
