So many kind words. Thank you all for that.
As stated, I am still an addict. I will be around I believe for a long time. But I am spending less time here now. We all need this board on some level, or obviously it would dry up. It just keeps going. Something at the heart of our unique experience keeps up coming back, most of us for years.
I still check in every day. I just see very few topics in which I desire to participate. I read more than I comment nowadays. My stay is shorter. And much of what I see is very repetitive [understandable for a focused discussion board of course]. This board feels like family. Sometimes like dysfunctional family...LOL. The real brotherhood is here though. And I am so glad to be a part of that.
