Why are you leaving?

I suppose you cannot answer that though, as you won't be posting any longer.

Sorry to see you go, Sea.

All the best mate.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

if you're even somewhat liked around here, aren't you supposed to say where you're going or why you're leaving?

(now I fear that he knows we'll eventually find a link to the heinous crime he commited or something)

edit: for the record, I like sealoboo. we even joined the same month in 2001.

I think "ciao" was the intention...

so why are you leaving Sealobo? Are you reading and just not posting?

I hate when people leave like this. Besides, I thought we were all under contract.

No, it means stir-fry. As in ‘chow mein’ (= chao mian).

Like Seinfeld, apparently sealobo has left us wanting more, if only to figure out why the hell he left.

Perhaps he was being threatened at gunpoint to resign.

Well, let's propose some theories so outlandish that he will be forced to come back and explain.

Or not.

You mean like MI6's agent in Hongkong has been ordered back to London and now he doesn't have the 'license to post' anymore?

I'm guessing his departure may have had to do with one of the following: communism, the Asian market crash, gay marriage, or conversion to fundamentalist Christianity.

Only one of them?

I’m guessing his departure has to do with a combination of all of them.

But since I like looking at it, I said nothing.

So did, but since he posted so infrequently I figured it wasn't worth mentioning.

Now you’re just teasing us, trying to get us to ask when. Well, I won’t play that game. I will not, no siree, not on your life.

All right, all right, all right, I’m curious. Why, then?

I'd be surprised if he's allowed to say so publicly.

...and it would be delicious if he gave a reason and then some current mod is all like "Don't lie/distort the facts" and then drama occurs.

Didn’t one of the other mods say that Peter quit as a mod of his own accord?

I thought I read something else, but I'm not going to make allegations without proof, and I'm too lazy to find it right now.

Good luck sealobo, I hope this is not due to health issues or any bad stuff you've had to go through…
