Leaving this forum! Really? Don't do that.

I could be the last one to leave this forum ;-)

From time to time there are weird things happening over here. I don't mind that. I just stop reading threads that seem to go nowhere.

But many times there are very interesting topics being debated here.

So that's why I will keep coming here frequently.
