Author: wiboth, unpacking the moniker (can't smell cedar balls yet)
Subject: Also in gratitude

Like Erin, I wasn’t ready to go either, even if I hadn’t shown up regularly for ages. I had reluctantly accepted a DOM certificate back a long time ago, explaining to zzoo it was a matter of “just do(ing) the job”. But by the fourth season I’d begun to feel sort of like the Maytag man and my DOM keyboard had (happily, and vindicatedly – to paraphrase Nikita, I loved it that I was right about him) fallen into disuse – there was nothing to defend any longer. Of course, RL has certainly taken its toll in the last year, too, and my available time for Susan2's board shrank to almost nothing (and is still minimal for purposes of dropping in here, too, these days). But Susan W, thank you, thank you, thank you – I told zzoo and Susan2 and a couple of others earlier today, upon tardily discovering The Final Run had closed, that I’ve done so much reluctant moving on in the last 15 months or so I was really sorry to have one more thing I've cared about in my life disappear, and I hated losing touch w/ so many of you w/ whom I’ve enjoyed countless hours of a fulfillment I haven’t found elsewhere.

[> {{{wiboth}}} You know, when the show was at its height, I used to spend *three hours a day*--sometimes more--on the boards....and I loved that time...but it's probably for the best that that time is past, lol. Yet, I've met too many interesting people to let all of you go so easily--like mak said, I want to know "what comes next" for all of us. -- Susan W, 22:30:35 07/16/01 Mon
