If all posts after mine in this thread do not copy my post I will...
Gee, I want to know how do you get people to stop begging you to leave???? Crystal, Hercules and his shovel are ready when you are..... It would seem to be a different matter if Mils or some of the other megaposters, heart and sole/soul, founding members here were leaving. That would seem to merit a prolonged announcement and explanation. These would not be leaving unless a major life altering event was happening. To post a "hasta la vista" , I'm really...really...really leaving, kiss my Sonicare, eat feathers and die kind of rant not so much. Especially when the dearly departed resurfaces, sometimes under a new persona. Each thread stands on its own merits, from new insights to "when did you first know, how do you best tickle, favorite spot" etc ad infinitum type posts. The forum has a great team of firefighters(mods) to keep personal attacks at a minimum. If your experience on TMF is not what floats your tickle boat anymore, you may have to row your lifeboat by yourself. It reminds me of those that leave a church because of all the (other) hypocrites. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, but the charming 'lee gets the baby oil!!!
