What's the best way to bid a spiritual farewell to people you've known for eight years?

[Dear Dogma]

That's too bad ((Meds))) you will be sorely missed.

I'm not sure what will happen to me. I've tried the facebook thing for the last few days but it doesn't set up like the Q&A format this place does. To be honest I'm not inspired to be there. As for the final outcome of Y/A answers, I'm not sure I'll survive the format change either. I'm certainly not big on change and the purple scourge presents much of it. I share many of the same feelings you do about the demise of many endearing users and I have been getting very little satisfaction being here of late. I may very well hang up the skates with you this time. I have been considering enrolling to earn an online degree in hopes of becoming ((gasp)) A Catholic Deacon! Probably not a huge shock to most people familiar with me here. Anyway if this is the end, my friend... I'd like to think that I'm a little better off for having spent so many hours on here over the last few years and coming to know you has been just one of the pleasures this quirky place has provided.

I'm not sure what else can be said except; "So long and thanks for the fish"

Peace; DD
