Tell ya' what Amos.......Whatever prompted your decision, it was a good prompt. Being around here a long time and then taking leave of the joint for awhile is healthy. I spend a bit of time each week, often each day, checking the threads but after a little respite I have found that most of the music/instrument stuff is less entertaining and often rehashed with little attention paid to great threads already existent. The BS has become political drivel, mostly unoriginal, and almost always with a bitter edge.

It's still a great place but lessened for a lot of reasons well beyond my control. I enjoy the occasional post and often an evening spent making a few jokes......although those type of BS threads are more rare now and the ability to laugh around here has reached pathetic on the meter. Like Wolfgang, I hope things change after this election wrap-up.

Looking up at the small possum sitting above my computer, I know his days are finished here but I hope at least a bit of that level of lightness will reinvade the village!!!
