It's Time to Go


 

While I appreciate Ravi's attempt to create a forum for idea exchange it has devolved into Willytex World. So, I'm saying "Auf Wiedersehen". Having to skip down 10 of willy's inanities in order to read a real post is not that rewarding. It's been nice, folks. See you on the other side.

Thanks for posting all these years, Ann!

You dropping out won't make any difference. I've been posting to these discussion groups since 1995, trying to be civil and spark a discussion. It didn't make any difference - nobody wants to talk about meditation anymore, or post comments on yoga poses. I must have posted over 20,000 on-topic comments on Usenet by now. Hey! I've written a whole online book!

I'm not saying that nobody cares, but nobody cares. YMMV.

I know, it’s sad… really sorry to see you go.

It's sad that nobody cares what you say. But, my money is on the bet that there are several lurkers here, reading every word. Hi, Judy. LoL!

Please do stay if you can Ann. I do read your posts and enjoy your wit and wisdom. I guess forums such as these are relics of the past and folks have moved elsewhere FB, Twitter, Reddit and we can't get enough folks to create a vibrant exchange of ideas at this point to drown out posters like Uncle Willy, but do we give up? We need you ?

Note to readers:

Anyone who does not want to read my posts to this, or any other discussion group, should block me in their email client or just skip over my comments posted on the internet group site. Thanks.

Ann, you are a gem.? Do what I do? Leave and then come back?? Keep the door open?? Pop in again when the Evil Orange One goes on trial???

My attention is also elsewhere these days.? Members of my family and friends are all in the throws of big changes right now.? Personally, I've downsized about 70-80% and am bringing another person on board.? It has been so freeing to let go of my life in boxes and dispose of things not needed.? The house will soon be self-supporting.? The kids are launched.? I start looking for work in July.? In short, am very fortunate and in love with life right now.?

Thank you for showing up here and elsewhere.??

I assume Ann is reading the website where it’s impossible to avoid any one person, I would switch to email.

?Then?set up a rule to dump Willy’s messages in the trash, google makes it really easy.
