Nearly all folks on this forum over the years participated. They did not just post stories and ignore all other stories or the everyday exchange of life's ways that our group posts. The occasional one who did was left behind us.
You have all gone to the considerable time and effort of either posting stories, parts of your life, or photos of interest, as well as interacting with others. You grieved when tragedy struck your friends, celebrated with them etc, and you are all deserving of being congratulated, appreciated, and thanked sincerely.
Musketeer, if you are reading this, please remember that i gave you what i thought were reasonably clear instructions when i asked you to please title your stories and how to put the flag in front of your title indicating it was a new story. I did not expect to have to repeat myself and if help is needed just ask, that is what PM's are for, or even a post in the general forum.
There is also a sticky post in the story area outlining what is asked of those who wish to participate.
So, if there are issues with me telling it like it is or making moderator decisions i will be fine with turning in my keys and leaving.
