    This is wierd...this is the only forum i've ever been on and i for one thoroughly enjoy it...friends of mine use several forums and rave on about them and never saw the facination but there does feel a real 'comunity spirit' amongst us and it's great..:dbgrtmb: So what i'm trying to say is how sad it seems when someone leaves...Ramble over...

    Good luck Steve in what ever you do..Take care:sunny:

      Why would he say, a few days ago, that he won't be logging onto the site and then do it ?
      Either you're going or you're not :mad:
      On another site i go onto they ban this kind of "shall i, shan't i ?" thread !

      We're more laid back here Louise:D We know people get upset, especially as the nights draw in & we are faced with the "what am I going to grow now?" season.:parsnip:

        I've been frequenting forums for several years (some of them fast and furious with lots of arguments and swearing, especially the conspiracy forums)

        some people get 'hurt' as many people can take the p*ss, and in the spur of the moment, they get cheesed off and say they are leaving ....

        this is a way of showing and saying that they feel hurt ... and they look for sympathy (in a threatening manner)

        but a few days later, they realize that they made a mistake and many come back as new members with a new ID (I spot it from the way they express themselves and the way they type etc), and many still read all the posts, but don't log in

        I am not saying that this is what happened to Steve as I never knew him or followed his threads/posts and I don't know the reasons why he is leaving, but am just giving you my opinion on what I have learned from participating on other forums

                        This topic was started as I did not want to just dissappear without a word at all. It's not meant to be dramatic or sinister in anyway.

                        However, I will return if the circumstances that led to my leaving..change. I'll say no more than that.

                        Many thanks for the good wishes both publically and in private or by other means.

                        Steve...:)
