I will miss your participation in what we share here. I understand that everyones contributions to this board are chiefly for the benefit of others, including a high percentage of the questions which are posed.
You have been an important part in our communication, and I hope that you will occasionally continue to offer your comment, insight and opinion.
I similarly note that the typed word results in a rather stark presentation, devoid of inflection, expression and other non-electronic communication forms available in personal discourse. Because of this status, it is very easy to misinterpert the intended meaning behind a statement. Complimenting this difficulty is my awareness that for me, a certain percentage of the things which I type, I later wish that I hadn't; or at least wish that I had exercised more care in my chosen sentence formulation.
But I easily dismiss these errors of mine, because I realize that I never pretended to be capable of flawless communication. And sometimes I just type something without adequately thinking about it first.
I applaud all of our fellow Forum participants for not taking offense in these instances of my being faster with the keyboard than with my mind. Particularly since the taking of offense seems to have become a popular societal sport.
I don't think that you got away so cleanly this time, Adam. Neither did Dan recently. And I recognize that it is more than a single incident which has prompted your choice.
Good luck, be well.
You have both friends and fans here.
