Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI'm not in a willy waving contest with you over supposed "loyalty" to Russ. I'd take out a subscription if I wanted to. And somebody else - for instance - paying my sub would hardly be an expression of my "loyalty". But all this is mere dodging. With the sheer hypocrisy of your OP in harness with the lecturing about people having to contribute to Russ' revenue, what message are you sending to [1] Russ, and [2] fellow members of this community? Is this perhaps simply an attention-seeking thread gone a little bit wrong?

And yet YOU are the one who goes on and on and on and on and on about supporting this site, supporting Russ, respecting his authority, obeying the forum guidelines and ToS.
A hypocritical pit of your own making into which you have yourself fallen Grampy Bobby.
**I have noted with interest that after your last episode of forum-denying self-flagellation where you set a date for your return which was clearly longer than you were able to bear and you returned early...that this time you have not put a date on your return. 😉

"To my friends, for personal reasons I've decided not to renew my subscription which expires on January 6, 2016. To my almost friends, this will be my final thread on this forum for the foreseeable future. To Russ and his Admin Staff, thank you for an enjoyable experience since July, 2007. Kind Regards, GB"

Please read this thread's original post again for the first time. Does it mention taking a "sabbatical"? No. A date of "return"? No. Why create a Straw Man?.

possibly longer due to health issues (other public forums are not referenced).

You have a health issue which prevents you posting and OP, but doesn't prevent you posting?

___________________
To draw this conclusion overly simplifies the "health issues".
"... possibly longer due to health issues" refers to three issues: a) You're already aware of the post paralysis recovery nerve damage [neuropathy] discomfort along the soles of my feet which interferes with and limits my daily life activities b) Another health issue may possibly require reconstructive surgery and convalescence; c) The third may require hospitalization followed by extended residence at a nearby medical care facility. The purpose of "... a minimum of three and maximum of six months" is simply to lessen my participation on this forum while health issue decisions are being made. Next appointment with my physician is January 11, 2016, with Blood Work the week before. Please respect my wish not to make any further disclosure.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI'll look into it. Meanwhile, it was you who brought up the subject of your health. You bring it up at least once a month. I think asking me to to refrain from pressing you to reveal personal details and got to be one of the most hypocritical things you have posted.
Thanks for your continuing interest in my wellbeing.
It's been awhile since you've created an interesting thread on this forum.
Isn't it about time to deliver one?
