"I wish I could have thought of that" -
I admire and respect people who can respond rapidly and wittily.
Arrakis is one of these people.
I dont often 'compete' in this battle of brilliance and I shall miss Arrakis, and I hope his genius will not disappear.
In the words of Oskar Wilde
When he had made an amazing witticism in the presence of Prince Albert, Whistler turned to him and whispered
"I wish I had thought of that, Oscar"
Oscar replied, tapping Whistler reassuringly on the shoulder,
"You will, Whistler, you will"
Many times I have felt that I was Whistler and Arrakis was Oscar Wilde.
Very best wishes and greatest respects to you Arrakis.

I always find it funny at various forums I participate in where someone feels the need to say bye-bye this way.
Thus becoming themselves, that which they supposedly disdain.
Originally posted by TeshuvahBut he isn't saying he is going to stop posting, he merely stated he is going to limiit his posting, so no one is saying 'bye bye' as you put it

Originally posted by stevetoddWhy would anyone write a post saying that they're not going to post as much? Isn't that in some way contrary to their intention?

Originally posted by stevetoddI've always wondered if he did that deliberately to transform himself into a brand. HitlerTM. it seems they've pioneered almost everything else the marketing industry is using as well, so I wouldn't be that surprised.
Extremely bad haircut and equally bad tache though
well, everything the greeks hadn't thought of already. but still, the writings of the third reich propaganda minister is The 101 on advertising.

There is no "unreal" world.
Do you think that all the crap you've written is unreal because it was on internet?
Life is real and this is a part of life, you might have overused the forums and got sick of it. I understand you though.
I feel like the forums are getting really boring too.
Oh well, maybe one day everything will be just like you wish.
You might have to die for that I guess, there's no heaven here in da real world.

I am not long enough into my membership to comment with any knowledge on forums, but for now I am enjoying the humour, wit, inane drivel and occasional flash of intellectual bonding and think it is part of the joy of an anonmyous community where you can be whatever you choose to portray.
We all have one thing in common here you know 🙂
...and I do not believe in hell or heaven either. So, I guess nothing will ever be like just as you wish.
Maybe;
You will not marry a tall blonde Swedish supermodel, you will not win all your chess games and you will start a company like Microsoft but what the heck.
Just stick with what you have and improve it. Instead of bitching all the time.

Originally posted by PolicestateI never said I was withdrawing, my friend. I said I was going to start 'limiting my posts'. The reason I said that was because I usually post everyday and didn't want my friends to think I had died on them or something. 😕

But anyways, I want to thank all of you who have given supporting statements. I will be around occasionally to check on you all - just rarely. 🙂
