I had a look last night, for nostalgia, at the thread that occurred before our first meet up at wine and roses. it was so fun! this isn't any longer.
this board has meant a great deal to me, and I've made numerous friends as a result of it. I'm confident they'll remain friends, and for that I'm extremely grateful. NYC real estate is obviously a topic that fascinates me (believe me, nobody looks at as many comps as I do without being obsessed with the topic).
this has been destructive for awhile, but I was loath (that fighting Irish spirit) to let the trolls win. I no longer care. any victory seems destined to be a pyrrhic one at this point. but the bottom line is that this is just no longer interesting or fun. so what have I been fighting to keep going?
I'm not going off in a huff, and this may seem melodramatic, but like many others I find se more than a bit addictive. this public farewell hopefully will provide me with the incentive to stay off the board. if I don't feel free to heap abuse upon me!

again, though we have never met, i personally hate to see you go but certainly understand how one's spirit can be disheartened by the troll poster(s). Your info and comments were a tremendous help when we were searching to buy. Thanks for taking the time to help us make what we still think was a great decision. you will be missed...

Thanks rosina, your kind words mean a lot to me. I'm going through so much lately. I sold my place in 2004, years before the peak of the market, and I'm still waiting breathlessly today as prices are just on the cusp of 2005, so give it another 3-4 years and when combined with the rent I've paid, I'll be break even on that decision.

PLEASE!! More people pay attention to me. I'm leaving. Seriously. And I won't be back. Not in a week and a half (after my vacation), not in 3 weeks to "defend myself", not in a month under the posting name 10011, not again in two months as myself posting on occasion on the comps threads, and definitely not permanently in 3 months with the same drunk piss and vinegar personality as before. I mean it. I'm leaving. FAREWELL!
