My Last Few Days

[Haffner]

I am posting this because I'm about to take a break from this, my favorite forum. I'm taking up three total new musical instruments, and taking private composition classes in music (not to mention my own usual avalanche of guitar students).

I'll be back.

I'll be back because here I have found some of the most respectful, admirable, decent people I've ever met, period. This forum seems to be about real community. At times there are problems, but overall FAR fewer than any other I've been on.

I have to thank the moderators here also for their very fair, and overall strongly conscientious way of handling situations.

I'll be popping back in intermittently, but I'm not sure there will be much regular posting from me after Wednesday until probably late summer.

Thanks so much to all on this board, you folks are the best I've every had the tremendous pleasure of dealing with.

oh hey, don't forget to add me as a myspace friend (or if your lady is responsible for that, just tell her).

well, we'll miss your posts

Eek! I forgot! I'll tell her today.


And thanks for being so kind, Greg, you are an excellent friend.

Thanks for letting us know Andy.  I will definitely miss your passionate posts on Haydn SQ's and more importantly your sense of humor that never seems to waiver.  For you and your lady:

Oh! YES! Thanks so much for the drawing, Bill! I have a smile so big no emoticon could adequately portray it!

You really think we are going to let you go?

LOCK THE EXITS!!! 


Seriously, I am not pleased with your decision, Andy! 

But I of course wish you well!! 


Hope this post accurately conveyed my ambivalence.

I wondered what took you so long to post on this topic, George! You are one of my top favorite members here, and this is truly for the best. I have to spend alot more time with the instruments that make Our Music, as it means so much to me.

But I am flattered and happy, reading your thoughts on the matter.

And I'll be back!

Good luck with your current quests in life!

I'll be glad to see ya back here when you come back.

Let's just say that last year I got a bit of food poisioning here in the diner, so I try to stay away.

I respect that you are doing what you need to do in order to take care of your own life. Please ignore my self-centered concerns. 

But I am flattered and happy, reading your thoughts on the matter.

And I'll be back!

Now that's what we all wanted to hear!  You said in your OP that this was truly a great community. Don't ever forget that it is that way because of people like you!

Have a nice time, Andy. When you return we've moved to a new home.

Until then keep passing the open windows.

And I'll be back!

Well, if you really have to leave - that's the one condition!

Have a good time with all that music-learning!

I hope you come back soon Andy.

You are always so kind even when people don't deserve it.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought it would be the post from someone annoucing a terminal illness, having been told you have only a few days to live.

How old are you?

[Sergeant Rock]

Please ignore my self-centered concerns. 

Don't ignore mine, Andy! You're leaving? Let me quote Eric Cartman: Son of a bitch...

I'm gonna go sit in a corner and pout until you come back.

Andy - first, good luck in your 'many' endeavors - I'm sure that you'll be successful!  We will all miss your posts and enthusiasm (and a 'kindred soul' interested in that so-called Gurnian Period) - 

Hope to see you posting occasionally and return to us in the near future - best wishes - Dave

Andy, I will think of you every time I listen to Mozart's 35th Symphony . . . . . .
