Try as I might over the last weeks, news and commentary is not relevant to this forum.

No problem here, every ship has its course/mission

Now mind you, this is not an opus as I may post a "earth swallowed by a busty lesbian" article as need warrants.

I thank all of you for the consideration and kindness afforded to me at this venue.

Take care and tamp the ground before you.

See ya around.

Brian, I wasn't going to reply to this thread--seriously--but rather just read comments made by others. However, a couple of things were noted I'd like to comment on.

Firstly, I read many articles, and seldom comment. Saying 'ditto' or 'bttt' seem to not be saying much. However, I have noticed in the last couple of weeks, as apparently Chrissie has, too, that seldom, if ever, have I received a comment on whatever I write on threads you initiate.

Truly, this past week I've begun to think 'why bother' if it's only a race to post articles for the sake of posting articles.

Secondly, I don't seem to have as much time on my hands as I have had at different times--lots of demand being made by yardwork and more importantly, studying my Bible.

Thirdly, Neil commented about the effectiveness of a 'number of views' tab. I believe this is a great idea. I happen to read on some horse forums and have been amazed at the number of 'reads' vs the number of comments. An example: someone posts a picture of a newborn foal. There may be 4 comments and 140 views. Or someone poses a question about trimming feet. There may be 5 comments or so, but 300 views!

More telling is that on the one that is more attuned to pleasure horses, there are over 800 registered members (you have to register in order to even read on the board), of which probably 25 post with any sort of regularity. And yet if you look at the number of views, they are in the hundreds. And there are always someone coming on with "I usually lurk but because of the topic I want to add my two cents, or whatever....".

Having a viewership count would/could also be an indicator to thread initiators, and others, as to the "worth" of the article compared to comments written.

Fourthly, loddy was right--there are times you have to lighten up and be silly in order to not lose it! That even occurs on those horse forums I visit-- especially during foaling season.

Fifthly, or finally, yet probably most important, I appreciate all the efforts you've put into locating articles worthy of reading. You did the same yeoman work at TOS2, though most of them knuckle-dragging, kneepadding, didn't have the sense to read the article and attack the content or the doer of the content--they preferred you, the messenger.

I believe this plays a major part here, Brian, because in general we mostly are fairly like-minded in the political, governmental realm.

I do hope you will reconsider what seems to be notice that you won't be around much. Regardless, thank you for what you've done in the past.

My observation too..maybe that's what you miss, Brian? The truth is, the articles you post are appreciated far more here than they ever were on LP.

I very much appreciate your comments, Dee.
