They've made their own decision to leave for whatever reason. There's nothing to be done about it. I am devoting my time and effort to my friends who are here with us everyday. Hugs, friends! Tracey

We seem to get enough traffic, anyway.  There are enough knowledgeable people here *cough* Tekla *cough* that I don't think we'll have too many problems.

For every person that leaves, 5 join. Or at least that's the trend I've been seeing in my short time here.

It's sad to see someone go, but in the end it's their decision and it's not going to affect either us or them.

If the thread about why post-ops are leaving is going to get locked, then this thread going on about the people who left is getting locked too.  It goes both ways.  We don't need to be celebrating the loss of an entire point of view, a loss that makes this site less than it could otherwise be.

(I know this thread was intended to be a celebration of everyone here, but too many of these threads lately have devolved into bashing those who left, hence, the lock).
