I'm takin' off, eh
Well folks, it?s been swell. I?ve really enjoyed the last few years here, but I?ve decided to hang ?em up and call it a career.
I don't plan on leaving AppleInsider all together. I'll still poke my head in from time to time, I just won't be dropping locks on threads and messing with accounts of people I hate. (just kidding!*)
I've actually been contemplating this for quite a while. I just don't have the gusto for the job, and for Apple, that I had once upon a time. I think some enthusiastic new blood in here will be good for the community.
2 years ago I'd post a long, helpful explanation to a newbie's questions... now I just sit there thinking of a unique way to make fun of him, either with a hard-to-understand sarcastic jab, or a funny image. Sure, it's fun as hell, but what kind of message is that sending to the kids?
And also, please don't take this as me hating it here and moving to another forum. I?m no longer a moderator at ANY forums? I'm a free agent, baby. I might actually see if there are still other Mac forums or websites out there!
It's been really, really great here. Thanks for the memories. (and mammaries, until that thread was deleted) heh heh
See you around, guys. Take care, stay strong, fight the power, war eagle, and all that crap.
Off to the beer fridge!
*sort of

Nah, I've enjoyed having you around here, murbot, and I hope you have fun with your moderation-free future
Kidding of course Murbot. You've done us well. Everyone needs a change of course now and then. Being a Mod isn't easy ...you have to log in and keep the natives in check. I don't envy you there. Best wishes.
We'll miss your bad self*.
*but our aim's getting better.
There is only one Murbot and he knows where to come hang when he has spare time and needs a 6 pack...
Don't be a stranger Murbot!

Find yourself some good sunglasses and watch your first step into the real world, its a tricky one.
*EDIT: Woops, looks like a few Guarana slipped in there too.
Have a good time, old soggy bear. Moderating can be a hard job, but you did a fucking good job. Thanks for the laughs and the occasional screen cleaning.. hehehe
If the Flames win, I'll drink a beer for you. If the Lightning win, well, I'll still drink plenty of beer but I won't pack in that extra one for you.
Ebby: Send the beer to me. We'll make sure it doesn't skunk on you.
I do have a non-functional 27" TV in my garage, a digital video camera, and a nice high balcony at work over asphalt... maybe an SCTV tribute thread, with beer, Macs, and lesbian makeout clips thrown in for a little cultural diversity.
It's not like I have to set an example now, or anything.
hope you dont stay too far from AI, let us know when the video is done. mmmmm, lesbians.....
