Think wider, I resigned a lot of games on gameknot, not because I was losing (in fact I played 90% of them to a winning position) but because I decided I wanted a basis change i.e. to play in an otb style (with rhp as a back up cc style). I actually got a few problems over there as players didn't like me resigning winning positions against them.

you've got 24 moves under your belt. when you've played 50+ simultaneous games for months, you will know why.

That's wierd. Why don't you just keep your "load" in moderation?

I resigned something like 350 games back in Christmas 2004 and my rating dropped to 538 or something rediculous like that.

If I have too many games to cope with I just blitz them until the number drops. That means a few blunders and a few lost games but better that than conceding without a fight.
It's not fair to lower rated players for you to resign all of your games. Think about it. If you resign all 50 games you have current your rating will drop significantly. People that are much lower rated than you will accept challenges or challenge you thinking that the new rating is your real one. Sure you'll win most of the games but it will be because you're playing lower rated players, not because you got any better. They'll lose, not because they were up against a similar player, but because they played someone much higher, but sandbagging.
It's better to just not take any more games on until you finish some.
