When I opened this thread, I was afraid all the replies would be senseless flaming about "oh noes, not another fare thee well thread! attention-seeking whore!" because this is definitely one that's done right. Not that I'm at all happy that ric is leaving, but at least he's doing it with some class. He's not just leaving without saying anything, and his thread wasn't a bunch of vitriol of mudslinging and getting in the last word. I'm sad he doesn't think there's anything left here worth sticking around for, and I wish he didn't think that, because I don't think that. I don't think it has ever gotten to that point. Except on most Saturdays, I always come here to find at least something interesting worth talking about. And that's really all I need from this site. So, bless you, ric. I know everybody here is going to miss you. And I hope you'll be back soon (but not too soon or you'll start getting all those accusations that this thread was just an attention-getter )
