Taking a vacation from the board: Why?

I've taken more and more breaks because I want to be the slowest ever to reach 10,000 posts. See you next year.

 

This curveball has been hanging in the air like a 4-year old's pinata for over 12 hours now??????

Fail.

 

What curveball?

 

That's funny, because I remember you posting a "farewell message" way, way back in the day, probably back a good 2-3 board changes and many years ago. It stuck in my mind because you posted something about you saw you were getting to 1,000 or 2,000 posts and realized how much time you were spending on here and not spending with your wife and daughter because of your time on here, so you were stepping away, then never seemed to stop posting.

You had all your "greatest moments" (we agreed on the Monday/sportswriter/hockeybeat stuff and the frozen lemons from Clubber Slang) and best posters stuff. I'm not attacking, but it seems funny for someone to look down their nose about farewell posts when they did one themselves.

 

You're mistaking me for someone else. It never happened.

 

Someone must have gotten ahold of your password then, because I am 100 percent certain it was you.

It was somewhere around the time frame when you called 21 a douche and Boom spent the next few weeks trying to covertly figure out who you were in real life.

 

This sounds like a fun time. Sad I missed it.

 

You also ought to allow yourself the possibility that people DO care about the comings and goings of others. If you want to slip in and out seamlessly, that's well within your rights. That doesn't make it the deadbolt right answer, though.

I understand that part of what makes you a good journalist is your conviction of your beliefs. But the next step is understanding, or trying to understand, all angles.

 

I'm glad you're 100 percent sure it was me. I hope you're that sure about everything in your life... Maybe it was wishful thinking on your part. I don't remember doing it.

If you can produce the post from 2003 or so, then do so... I definitely remember calling 21 a douche and feuding with Boom. At the time, he was the one member of the board who I truly feared.

 

Almost every post pre-2006 has disappeared.

 

I thought there was a site where they had that stuff archived.
