Okay okay I'll stop

I understand that if we all adopt Coony style and post whatever comes to mind the board will be buried in, ummm, sweet smelling crap. But apropos the inquiry from LAZERIZER, assuming its legitimacy, most of us from Tom's era are old and tired. Substantive posts don't come so easy anymore. I can't do Coony's style with Coony's grace, who could? I resist flaming out. Maybe I have some time left. I can't read all of Coony's posts, or Chuck's (okay let me say for the record I am mostly on board with Chuck, insofar as I understand him). If Manny is gone, it's a loss. If Coony is going, it's a loss. If fireworks accompany departure, why shouldn't they? I have been here for a bit over ten years. That isn't long compared to others. I have tried a couple times to see if Mu could provide me with what this board has given me. It can't. I don't think the board is dying, I think it is responding to a changing environment. I wish I could keep up with both Coony and Chuck. In long distance running, there's the rabbit, who sets a pace he can't keep up to help others. That's Coony. That's Chuck. Am I in for the long haul? Not sure. I still have a few ideas left. There's value in Coony style. I don't deny that. Sorry for the excursion into a style that probably isn't my forte. hugzu ;-p
