In another thread, Flux said:

>>>I actually was just looking at that Drawing Board forum you linked to a while back, and I noticed that you actually post on at least three other forums in addition to Barbelith.... wow. Do you not sleep, man?<<<

And it got me to thinking - I do spend an inordinate amount of time on message boards. Time that could be far better spent working on making some good comics. Also, arguing about What's Wrong With Comics all the time is just depressing me and making me lose sight of why I love comics in the first place.

I usually hate these farewell posts because for the most part I think it indicates a certain arrogance on the part of the writer - who's to say their absence would even be noticed? - and I expect no different reaction to my own. I was just a cranky sod anyway with never a kind word to say about anyone.

So anyway, as part of my 2002 Life Restructuring Project I'm saying goodbye to the message boards for a while - possibly forever, possibly until 4:37 this afternoon, depending on willpower.

So ta-ra then, for now at least. Thanks for the chat, you've all been entertaining and stimulating.

And buy anything with my name on it.



(Hey, I bought a webcam, I'm gonna use it, okay?)

Does this mean I have to duoble my yelling at knowledge -1? Ah, well. Good luck with the career and all that. And goodluck escaping the Barbelith tractorbeam.

Seems a bit drastic, Cameron, but good luck in your creative endeavours.

Rather than packing in totally, just do what I do - have long absences intercut with posting like a fucker.

Nice sideys, by the way.

Anyway - bye. But you'll be back. You know you will.

You'll be back! You'll miss the pointless bickering...
Although, I suppose that's what families are for...

Happy new year to you.

I sometimes find this place over engaging, in a wasteful way, and then drop out for a while. Don't slam any doors because it would be nice to see you back sometime.

ah! I've accidentally incited one of my favorite Lith posters to leave... that sorta sucks. I was just suggesting moderation, honestly!

Good luck, Cameron.

Ta ta, Cameron. Take care out there.

You look like a slightly thinner version of the bloke out of the Corrs, by the way.

Bye, Cameron.

You would never go un noticed Cameron.

At the very least, please drop by to update us on your projects.

I too once spent an insane amount of time on message boards. I used to moderate three different boards and I had to quit in order to get myself focused. Now I just visit the boards when I need some conversation and it works out fine. (As opposed to every hour on the hour.)

Nice side burns, bad chin... thing. What is that, anyway? It's not even a chinstripe for fucks sake! If your gonna do something...

Anyway, if you're true to your word, you won't even be reading this, so I can say what I like. [singing]Cameron is a wanker, he wears a wankers hat... [/singing]

Very strange - I had that exact haircut/facial hair configuration a few years back, when I surfed every day.
1996? Odd. I should do that again.

See you in the funny papers.

Well, too late for the chap himself to hear me say it, but I think the board will be the poorer for his going.

Ah well.
