This is it, my last newsgroup post. I said I was quitting once before, but
that it was unlikely to be more than temporary, nor was it. Well this time
it's permanent.

You know, it's interesting in this strange social club not just for the long
termers, but also the characters one meets briefly and then they move on,
almost like acquaintances struck up in an airport departure lounge, killing
time while our flights are delayed.

So maybe us long-termers are like people living in the departure lounge,
endlessly, never going anywhere? I don't just mean windowsme.general, of
course. All newsgroups. All online forums. While sitting in front of a
computer for long periods is patently *not* healthy, my opinion is
pretty-much decided now that, if you have your health and/or your youth, you
should spend less time at the computer! But then I've always been in the
minority, going for walks rather than just driving everywhere. In that
respect my opinion is largely irrelevent.

Well, I've got to get out.

Be seeing you!

Shane, signing off.
