What's the best time to say goodbye, NOW?

[Edwatch_Winston_Malone]

I was thinking of saying goodbye but now Peabody has beaten me to it.  I don't know whether I should wait a while so as not to steal their thunder, or to say goodbye anyway, as I originally planned. 

I mean, why should I change my plans just because somebody is a quicker typer than me? 

How long do you think that I should wait in order for my own goodbye not to be seen a bandwagon jumping?  What is a decent amount of time?

And should I continue to post messages, whilst I am waiting for a suitable period to elapse? 

Please don't respond to this message, it is not cry for attention and should you respond in any great numbers, I should have to go away and rethink my plans...

Every time I come onto this site it says, "Hello Rupert", in the top left corner, making saying goodbye seem rather rude of me, so I will not do so.

To answer your question, I believe Peabody has been persuaded to stay, so the option to be the regular poster saying goodbye is now open again and I suggest you make your move swiftly, especially if you are a slow typer. Hmm, is "typer" a real word or have I just made it up? Sorry, I am digressing here...
Anyway, it could be a bit of a blow if you decide to say goodbye again and are again beaten to the punch, no? Your self esteem might not be able to withstand the disappointment twice, making a third attempt difficult, or even make it appear to be bordering on parody.

And, no, do not post again, it will make you seem indecisive and will only encourage those responding in the hope that you stay.

Ah, reading on I see that you do not want any reply. B@lls! Just disregard the above, will you?

The difference is that losing Mr Peabody is a loss of intellectual capital on the site, your departure is a breath of fresh air.

Finster is 100% correct in this particular instance.

I think i could grow to like Mr Andrew Malone  :54: . Though being a cat i shouldn't really like a mighty Dog.

I sometimes worry about you Fredster lol.

With just 70-odd posts we have hardly had a chance to get to know you properly. So it's way too early to say goodbye.

If you could give a quick summary of your various posts so far and an equally detailed resume of your next, say, 30 or 40 posts, then we will all know whether you will be missed. From what I have seen so far, my guess is that you still have several hundred posts to go before your overall contribution reaches an 'acceptable' cerebral level that will allow you to leave with your head held high. :dft012:

So I look forward to many more posts to come. :005:

I believe everyone deserves a chance, but I took a quick look at Cottage Corner just to check that my convictions are right.

I'm afraid I was wrong.

Winston, it's a  :038: from me!

I know you're a 'special' case Fredster. But there was a bloke over there posting under your name not so long ago. The guy was a right idiot! :005:

Looking at the large number of responses - that I haven't bothered to read, I have reconsidered my needy drama queen posturings and now look forward to many more messages of support in the future.

Thank you all..

Only half of these messages addresses you.

Good luck for the future. The word Troll comes to mind. I don't know why.
