Thank you Ayu. You are being too kind.
And as for the rest of you you can find all of the behind the curtains dirt in my new tell all book "Behind the Wheel". You can preorder now by simply sending 20 USD to my paypal account. :stirthepot:

The way you put it, I don't think you are right.

Yes, KT, I'm looking forward to your book. Someone - who has enough time - should write it.

Thanks Hazel, you've been a jolly good chap.
Looking but not seeing - that's my eye.
Thinking but not minding - that's my mind.
Speaking but not expressing - that's my tongue.
Traveling but not going - that's my path.

Thanks, everyone.
This was my third or fourth stint as mod on one Wheel or another so I may be back sometime - not soon, though. What seems to happen is that after doing it for too long my patience with thoughtlessness begins to run out, making me a worse mod (and a worse person). Then I take a big break, and I'm ready for more if needed ... and I look at some of the wonderful people who have been on the team for years and think they deserve a bit of support.

I will still be participating, except that I'm about to go camping for a week or so. While I'n not around, you can, if you like, imagine me sitting beside a campfire under a gumtree in the great Outback ... and not looking at screens at all. :smile:
