Considering 7,759 of them were you posting the same stupid "internet graphics" over and over again I would have to say yes.

sorry, t, way OT, but i had a turtle for a pet once (Jenny) and she was definately one of the coolest pets ever! Whenever I see your handle, it reminds me of her. So, I'd love to see it stay, but it's your tough decision - Good Luck!

Well, then again, what does having that many posts really say about you? Or, for example, 30,000 posts say about you?

Dude, by mid February you'll have more posts than me and look at the difference in how long we've been here!

Turtle, I don't think that you should retire. Would miss you. Please stay.
