So Dragon and Greenberg are pairing up to depreciate my sweet sweet reply.
But what difference does it make, says I, for I wasn't exactly expecting respect over such a trivial post.
Dragon: your nitpicking my choice of words reveals your utter contempt for my trivial creativity. Or perhaps your thick-skinned sensitivity lacks refinement for the triviality of the obvious. Forever and ever feels like forever.
Greenberg: what is the point? what's in it for me? with such a posting?? My my, the forums' self-appointed charge d'affaires seems irked—but over such a trivial post, disappointing. You missed the keyword: whenever. Whenever I feel like it without feeling obligated to do so. If people were more mindful of the "whenever", then perhaps committing oneself to write and observe these trivial farewell posts wouldn't feel so obligating. Unless, of course, one chooses to trivialize one's transit.
