I, for one, find these kind of threads self serving. If you really didn't have an ulterior motive, you would simply have left. Further, it doesn't speak well of one when they listen to a couple of small minded, pompous asses spouting their verbal flatulence in the town square, and decide the whole town is not worthy of their time. It seems to me it puts one in the same bag as those they criticize.

So leave if you must, but spare us the grand exit, OK. If you decide to stay, that would be great as you have added good things to our little community.
