Retirement

Well, as I near 5000 posts, I am thinking about retirement to silence for a while to balance out all of the , , . What do you think? Should I?

Hello...have you seen the calendar? It is not April 1st!

Will your computer explode when you hit 5,000? At the very least, there should be a fireworks show down on GB! Hurry hurry before I leave!

Should I?

Only if you use your down time to knit us all hats.

But, nah, you can't retire. You need us. ;-)

Absolutely not! The board wouldn't be the same without you Smiling Joe.

You wouldn't dare. I miss ya, SJ. Coming to church on Sunday?

I need to pray.

Go ahead Kurt...He is always listening.

SJ, don't even think about it. We would be without you. We appreciate all your informative posts and beeeeautiful pictures!!

Please don't. But if you must, just take a week or so. You deserve that. Otherwise, we will come find you.

:nono1: Bad idea. Tell ya why. Not sure but I think lots of your posts are posted photos . Don't want to see that stop. You do have lots of knowledge of the area and do chime in when us wannabe locals say something stupid .

No SJ, retire from your "real" job (if you have one) but NOT from this board. I would miss you terribly!!!!!

Oh, Joe...don't go! You have become a virtual character on the Boards, not to mention an important resource for all of us. And I cannot do without those photos. Hope you reconsider.

I took a forced break from the board while I was down there the past week, because I forgot my password and the laptop didn't have it built in. It was nice to have a break, I must say. But I need the daily fix when away. Try a brief sabbatical as an alternative.

What he said ... :clap_1:

I think if your 5000 posts were all useless dribble like mine, you probably would need a vacation. But they're informative and like RO said, a bunch of them are photos. :clap_1:

I agree with every post above this one....except the first one where SJ was talking nonsense!!! Don't go, who would point out mine and RO typos?

(Sorry RO, had to be said)

But, a nice knit hat is hard to come by :clap_1:

I need to pray.

This cracks me up!!! And, I've already cracked up!

Besides, my "SJ-3000+" Beach Reconnaissance Robot is showing its age...I'm looking forward to the new and improved model, the SJ-5K. Bring it on! ;-)

Are you trying to start a panic?

Well, if the idea of having 5000+ posts to your names strikes you as a bit too ostentatious. why not ask Kurt to reset you back to zero like a car does after it hits 100,000 miles? Kurt reset himself very successfully so you know it's do-able!

But the answer is still NO, you can't retire. We all love you too much. :clap_1:

I too like reading your posts and viewing all of your beautiful photography. I say "don't go"!! Please.......

Funny you mention that. Just Sunday, I started on some Christmas presents.

You wouldn't dare. I miss ya, SJ. Coming to church on Sunday?

No, I have business in Hotlanta for the weekend , but you can say a prayer for me.

I have asked Kurt if I could donate my posts, but he never responded. Perhaps, if I could go back to zero, I may consider sticking around a little longer.

Joe! Don't go! I really like to read your views!

Don't stop, JOe. I thoroughly enjoy your posts. Not only are you intelligent, thoughtful, and non-conformist, but your photos are beautiful from down deep in the soul.
