Left? LOL! You're sure? Really? How can you be so sure? Oh, BTW, wasn't it more like 7 and a half yrs? Just asking! LOL!

Really? I don't recall seeing those posts! 'Nothing much'? Simple Presence? According to who? Evidence of such? Unlike this post I've quoted? Too much, LOL!

Really? 'had to be there?' Actually I was there! LOL! Out of deference? Perhaps one could have deferred a bit earlier on? Just asking!

"Ditto" posts? LOL! "He?" "on here 24hrs?" Yeah, he never slept - subhuman, 'he' was a 'bot' 4 sure! Great content rich posts.. LOL, too much!

Absolutely correct, IMHO..

Of course, this post I've just made would surely be yet another 'presence' post, entirely lacking in 'content'!

Hey, quick shout out and best wishes to all FTers.. Hope you're all having a great weekend

This will be my last post on this 'subject'

Happy Holidays!
