I leave all you people who know nothing whatsoever about anything to congratulate one another on each other's balanced approach or whatever. I was trying to do a service, for the reasons I have maintained from the start. I note that not one of you taking issue with me has actually addressed a single thing I have said. If you wanted a serious discussion, I was available because I felt and feel it's important. If that taints your desire to listen to my music, I can live with that. But I certainly don't aim to hang around and be a target for people who refuse to engage the issues.

So, as far getting as life and moving on, you betcha, kids. If you ever see my name on a post on mudcat again, you can take that as evidence that hell has frozen over and the next winter Olympic games will be played there.

Thanks to all who have voiced support here, and goodbye.

Very sincerely,

Duck Baker
