I think some of the contributers have gone off at a tangent or lost the thread so to speak. But so what, the last two pages make very interesting and amusing reading.
 
I seem inadvertently to have created a mystery - that wasn't my intent.

If it provides grist to the rumour mill to imagine that I've 'left' because of problems, then perhaps I shouldn't burst the bubble, but nothing could be further from the truth. I have a couple of projects that need a lot of time and my full concentration, so I had to give up something.

However, as someone has pointed out, nobody "leaves" the forum - they just stop posting. I didn't intend to make an announcement; I just wanted to say "Bye", in the same way that some new members say "Hi".

To fully clear things up, I'll now say something that it was remiss of me to forget when I created the topic, as follows...

There's a handful of members on here for whom I have an enormous amount of respect. I don't need to list those people - you know who you are.

There are other members with whom I've crossed swords. C'est la vie. I've done my absolute best to point out wherever I've been wrong, and I make no apology for being blunt, and offer no explanation for being what I am. Thank you to anyone who took the trouble to reply to my posts, and in doing so for furthering discussions. I bear no grudges, and, despite what some of you appear to think of me personally, I wish all of you well.
