Bob,
I hope you reconsider and stick around.
I want to hear the story of your 1977 Reggie Jackson proof

These types of threads get us Nowhere Man.

This thread has been here, there and everywhere.

There have been a few forums (not this one) where the participant behavior was so idiotic and the moderation so horrible/unfair, that I considered asking to be 'deleted'; however, I considered it with the assumption that the moderator would take me up on it. I think if you ask to be removed, you should be removed in less than a shake of a lamb's tail.

There are some forums where, if you ask to be removed, they warn you that all traces of your existence will be removed (other than quoted posts, I assume) - that's the way I would want it done to me if I made such a request.

Having said all that, I have never asked to be removed from a forum - even the incredibly stupid ones that I should never have joined.

Nothing against Bob, although I am on a detox diet that doesn't allow sausage.

This unsubscription is taking longer that a KISS Farewell Tour!

The long and winding road
That leads to this thread
Will never disappear
I've seen that thread before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your posts

a few more stanzas and then

But still they lead me back
To the long winding thread
You left me reading here
A long long time ago
Don't keep me reading here
Lead me to your posts
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's the 'KISS your butt farewell' tour

I once wanted to ban myself from a forum, and found that there was an option for that - I could do it all on my own just by clicking a link; however, when I did so, it warned me that all posts would also be removed. I almost did it just out of curiosity, but stopped because I realized there were some people in the forum who were friends, and who could only get hold of me through the forum.

Now I'm going to go back and find that forum and delete myself. I'll report back how it works out. Thanks to Bob for giving me the idea…and courage…to take this needed step.

I like Bob and think he's funny. However, if he recants, would that be an un-unsubscription, or a re-subscription.

This reminds me of the old Yakov Smirnoff joke from the '80's: "Comedy is different in USSR. In USSR, if you say "Take my wife, please", you come home, she is gone"...

Why would anyone "banish" themselves when all you have to do is not participate. Unless you want to draw more attention to themselves. Hmmm

What is the timing difference between one versus two shakes of a lamb's tail
