I woke up this morning and knew what I wanted to say here.
The missus thinks I might be having a mid-life crisis. I wouldn't know.
I've forgotten how to write. Or can't find the time. Or can't be bothered. Or something.
The thing is, I was coming here to write, and (it turns out) to chat with you folks. But I'm not doing the writing/chatting any more, which is getting me down (I've got this terrible pain in the diodes in my left side), which is translating into guilt, mainly. So rather than feeling bad about the list of entries that I intended to start/finish/update/etc that I haven't started/finished/updated/etc, I figure I should just get on with saying ta-ta.
That way, I've either (a) done the polite thing and said farewell, or (b) will actually realise what I miss now that it's gone and will get on with coming back and doing more writing/chatting.
Let me sign off by pointing you to this U1522321.

and all the best in RL. If you miss us no doubt a few of us will still be here when you pop back.
Thanks for what you did for the photo on A34945338 (I asked the Eds to credit you) and I don't know if you know that it won EotM for June
Take care out there in the big bad, I'll miss you

I'm not really here Posted Sep 18, 2008
Well, I never thought of h2g2 as a chore (obviously) but if it's annoying you to think about it I suppose saying goodbye makes sense.
I just ignore my list of entries I want to write.
Shame though, as I've got quite attached to you.
