I've given this some thought. I'm leaving the board, permanently. Various reasons, none of which I want to go into here and now - but it's a considered decision.

I've deleted my (2000+) PMs, one by one. I thought about deleting a few of my on-board posts but can't remember which I'd like edited out - so I'm just going to go. I've worked out a way of scrambling my password and the attached email account, so I won't be back.

Cheerio, folks.

All the best.

Indeed. Well hold the mustard, hold the mayo, and the bread. Hold the salad.

I'm actually glad to see you go, guy, becaue a lot of wha u used to say made me feel very angry.

Now yu're gon I won't have to feel that way.

Not so ashamed.

11!

Are you channelling Modzy, Gran?

Well no, not really.

But I still think the question has to be asked, thus: what have Dr G, the handsome bastard, contributed to the board recently?

Not very much, would be my fear.

Not very much at all.

Accordigly it seems to me that Dr G, after the on-line funeral, should go the way of all flesh, you know ?

The way of all flesh.

Well, Big Brother time won't be the same without you Ganesh. I've always enjoyed your posts and your sense of humour tremendously. I suspected an announcement like this was pending for some time, as the volume of your posts lately has decreased a lot.

Honestly sad to see you go.

I'll miss your contributions here, but I getcha. See you in the funny papers.

I think we all hope, and trust, that Dr G'll be back on Barbelith in time for Big Brother this summer.

It would, let's face it, be a diminished experience for everyone concerned without him.

We'd get by somehow, I suppose, but it wouldn't be the same ...

Jesus.

I'll miss you, and I hope you won't mind if I email you. You were one of the posters whose stuff made me actually stick to this board back when I first found it.

All the best. I wish you wouldn't leave, but if that's how it is, then that's how it is. Take care of yourself, dude.

You know you'll be missed, G. Good luck out there.

Well, now Alex's Grandma will have a chance to try and match Ganesh's contributions to the board. Here's hoping.

I think that's a shame.

G'bye Ganesh, good luck and all that.

It is really a shame. But goodbye, and good luck. I think you'll be missed around here.

I thought of you a friend on here, and your BB threads kept me reading Barbelith when I wasn't posting, so I feel sorry about this although I admire the firm and considered decision.

That's a real shame, you were one of my favourite posters, Ganesh, always with a considered viewpoint and witty asides. The board is a lot poorer now you're gone.
 
 
Blake Head
15:17 / 18.03.07
Really unhappy to hear that you're going, your posts were always humourous or worthwhile or both, and like John says we'll be poorer without you.

I sympathise with your decision though.

On a purely selfish note I hope this isn't the crack that finally breaks open the dam.

Will you come back if I post more of these?

I'll really miss you. Awfully sorry to see you go - you're one of the bones of Barbelith, IMO.

Thanks for spending all this time with us. Good luck with life after 'lith.

Is there anything in vedic literature about Ganesh having triumphant returns or being reborn?

If Seth keeps up with The Sexy he'll be back in two shakes of an elephant's trunk. You mark my words

Maybe or maybe not, Seth, but I'll stick around a lot longer.

I feel very sad.

God speed, oh nosey god, you.

Good luck, Mr Elephant.

*sets watch*

Not really, but I'm sure if you did, perhaps, come back even if just to discuss Big Bruv then it might be quite well-received.

Best, Duncan.

He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again.

I'm sad about this too. But what's really sad is that at this stage I'm more or less resigned to the fact that Barbelith has recently been, is now, and will keep losing people who have been here for years and (for me) made the board worth reading and being part of - and no matter how much people may want to believe otherwise, they're leaving at a rate that can't be attributed to the simple life-cycle of internet sites (many of them have outlived that, so why are they leaving now? - it's not coincidence).

It won't be the same without Ganesh, but in practice we've been without him for a while in that he's already been posting less than he once did, as have many people. And the band played on...
 
 
Alex's Grandma
01:32 / 19.03.07
What's really distressing is that I never found the time to tell him that I loved him.

01:38 / 19.03.07
if he's gone, why are we still writing to him - do we suspect he'll remain a lurker, or will the ghost of ganesh haunt the lesser trod regions of the board forever? (like the dumb sports question thread on the games board)

waves anyway...
 
 
alas
02:25 / 19.03.07
Bye, Ganesh. I'll write you. You meant a lot to me. But...well, what Flyboy said, basically.

(Alex's G--wtf?)

How sad. The man will be missed.

07:43 / 19.03.07
Well, crap. He's one of the few posters I can remember being around, y'know, doing his elephant headed thing, back in fall of 2000 when I first joined. Sucks that he's leaving; his was always a welcome presence on the board for me. I'll miss the guy.

If you come back, Ganesh, I promise we'll keep the "back already?" jokes to a minimum.
