Forum friends.....

As of today I am returning to my Luddite roots and abstaining from Internet usage.

Goodbye and thanks for all the fish....

 Hello Dick,

 I hope you're not serious. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say, I've enjoyed your wit and wisdom.

 Don't drop us like a bad addiction, check in every now and then.

  Stay warm, keep your boots down and your hat up.  

 Sincerely,
 Hammer

I sure as hell hope he's kidding us about this.

His wit and knowledge is needed around here.

Hobbits: Speech, Bilbo! Speech!

Frodo: Speech!

Bilbo: My dear Bagginses and Boffins, Tooks and Brandybucks, Grubbs, Chubbs, Hornblowers, Bolgers, Bracegirdles and Proudfoots… [cheers] Old Proudfoot.

Hobbit: Proudfeet!

[Hobbits laugh. Bilbo waves dismissively.]

Bilbo: Today is my one hundred and eleventh birthday!

Hobbits: Happy birthday!

Hobbit: Happy birthday!

Bilbo: Alas, eleventy-one years is far too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable hobbits. [cheers abound] I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

[There is a dead silence from the crowd. They gaze at each other blank-faced, trying to figure out if they were just insulted.]

I, uh, I h-have things to do... I've put this off for far too long.

I regret to announce — this is The End. I am going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell... Goodbye.

[Bilbo puts the Ring on and vanishes.]

Hobbits: Ooh!

Dick-

I'm also not sure if you're serious, but I suspect you are.

I, too, will miss your posts and the wit, wisdom and passion for what we all do within them.

Tell you the truth.... I also have thought recently of doing this but I am not likely to make that leap. So I think I may share, or at least understand, your motive(s).

I *did* have cable TV turned off about 18 months ago and discontinued reading the NY Times. My life is better for that.

Be well and (as already stated) pop in and say "Hi" every now and then.

If you ever find yourself wondering which kick drum mic is best, you can always email me. I'll stay on top of this for you  

Best wishes-

[Jared Chrysostom]

I think it's a publicity stunt.

If this really is the case, please send me all of your gear or I can come pick it up.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Couldn't find anything appropriate in Norsk.

Dick. Don't. Go.

I curse the demons of inadequate rig and no humility.

Dick,

Think you're too good for us, eh?

Y'all come back now, y'hear?
