Catman
I am truely sorry to read how you feel (although I have to agree completely). I do not know you, have never met you, but have joined the F-T community because of you and several others that have posted informative, interesting and humerous tidbits that make our unique lives on the road a little more bearable. I agree completely that the F-T boards have gotten somewhat "common" with the fights, language etc that have come about over the months. Its unfortunite, however as several have written in the past, it is now an unfortunite part of society and the best way to deal with it is to ignore it. The childish behavior will dwindle if it is ignorned. The borish few will go find some other forum to disrupt to get their jollies.

Anyway, you and several others (Premex and rudi comes to mind imediately)have made my 200,000 miles traveled annually more productive (from a mileage standpoint) and certainly more humerous and I hope you reconsider your semi-retirement. Your insight (as well as many others) is greatly appreciated by many of us and I would hate to see Cmd Cat cop retire to a quiet bowl of milk!

Aloha and Mahalo for your insight
