Something that drives me absolutely crazy is people who are privy to information, and act about it in a way that is reminiscent of a childhood taunt - "I know something you don't know" done in a singsong voice. If I knew who were we talking about here, I might be really bummed - but I don't know. All I'm feeling at this point is slightly irritated by what, to me, is an obnoxious post - the one that starts this thread.


Other people may not have found it obnoxious at all, but we are all different.

Of course it's a shame to lose a member of the Mudcat community, but there's a limit to how responsible you can ask me to feel for the decision of someone (whose identity I am not allowed to know) to take a break from the Mudcat Cafe. Hopefully he'll miss it and come back.
