Hi, my name is Randman, and I'm addicted to MacNN.

With the rash of gorickey wannabes, I just thought it would be fair for me to state, for the record, that I'm not leaving nor retiring my name!

While I've been spending far too much time here as of late, I don't see any reason to leave as I still think I have a pretty good life away from computers and the Internet. And I don't see any real reason to change my nickname from here.

So, in conclusion, I'd like to say (ripped off from somewhere else that I no longer remember) ...

I do not suffer fools gladly. If you have been on the business end of one of my notorious outbursts of Internet anger, I do sympathize. And, for what is to come forthwith, I offer you my grim condolence. En garde.

This is a computer-generated message and needs no signature.

Ahem, according to current fashion, you should be sending this announcement via PM to one or two select members, and let the information trickle out slowly to the masses. The shotgun approach is so 2004.

(did we ever figure out who it was?..I lost interest for awhile...)

Also, Randman, you'd have to come up with an equally cool sig for some new name, and that'd be a pain.

I'm sure some people figured it out, but my interest was short-lived as well. While guessing to myself who it might be, someone tossed something shiny into my cubicle and I couldn't help but become fixated.

You're damn right you aren't! That sig comes with a 12 month minimum "lounge-participation-commitment". Check the fine print!

I'd just like to say I retired my name back when it was cool and that I've retired more names than anyone ever will.
