    I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that I wont be leaving the backroom just yet.

    Thankyou for your attention.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Sorry to hear that you are leaving, OA.

    You have posted some intriguing material, particularly on economics and investment, that has had me scurrying off to research further. That's always a good thing, so thank you for your positive and thought-provoking posts.

    You are always welcome back!

    Thanks for the nice replies, I'm certainly not leaving in anger, there were very interesting debates, it is always stimulating to meet people with quite different views. The Org is the only forum I really found homey, due to the friendly atmosphere and the good mods. I will still post a bit in the ETW section, back to roots again when I started to write about MTW and RTW.

    You mean we WOULD have that if Lemur would be kind enough to return the access code. I know Banquo had it forever, and then when he finally let's go of it...

    Besides, we need access so when can see about improving young Strike's edumacation.

    I just went back and read the watchtower thread – He was here for 5 years and only had 472 posts? He did add some spice for a bit, oh well, I would say my lesson is: Don’t forget about all the other fun areas at the .org, including the watchtower

    I don’t confuse our posts very often (yours usually make more sense) I have the big avatars turned on so I always see your dude with the antlers above your game avatar. I choose it because it is the image that represents the Nodachi in STW, one of my favorite units, but so negative with the “No”, everyone says “No”; I’ll say “Yes” and thus was born the Yesdachi! the positive samurai. Any particular reason you chose it? My Avatar brother from another mother.
