Goodbye Everyone


Rather than just disappear, I'd like to say thanks to everyone who gave me help, taught me stuff, the many friendly members.

ok, now that I see things clearly....

This was a retirement party scam!

.....................................

I retired 12 years ago, no party then or since.

We had an elderly stock broker and his son-in-law in our car pool to/fm NYC.

Every single morning: "I'm gonna tell them I'm retiring TODAY. Every evening, "I'm gonna tell them tomorrow".

Went on for years, until one day he didn't come out with his son-in-law. Sadly had passed away.

Photo forums can be as touchy as hi-fi forums. I have pretty much stuck with film as I have the skills and like to keep them alive. While I have sold all my Leicas, I do still visit a film thread on a big Leica forum, where any kind of film photo from any kind of camera can be posted. Funny thing is, it remains one of the most active and longest lasting threads in the whole site - 4,000 pages over ten years.

Film cameras, vinyl records, tube amps, steam locos, and black powder muzzleloaders all get me going. I seem to have been born in the wrong era!

Glad to hear you'll be staying around.

You will be missed. I for one enjoyed your contributions.  Wish you only the best 

I will just say that when I see your name pop up there's the comfort of knowing a balanced and informative post is to follow. Best of luck.
