I was practicing getting it under a minute. Mordant's *always* funnier than me dude, no contest. I'm going to trawl for classic leaving posts and copy them here.

leaving posts shoud totally have a home and, if possible, should be quoted with the subsequent return posts.

No, it's (usually) the ones you won't miss who make a big song and dance but some groovy fuckers have just faded away. Lost the groove perhaps or taken it with them, to leave us scratching.

Back on topic - has anyone ever done an "I'm going off to lurk now in a huff!" kinda shutting the door gently behind 'em gesture? Doesn't seem so... final, does it? "You've all made me so maaaad, that I'm gonna .... just be quiet and read what you post."
has anyone ever made a grand leaving gesture and NOT retuned?
Yeah, there was that guy who objected to the Amazon ads and thought when the board crashed once it was an attack on him by Teh Moderators. Y'know, the one who chopped his own wood and lived in a house he built with his hands.
Or maybe I'm thinking of at least two different people.
