Cheers Buddy and best wishes for your next endeavor. Your participation in this forum will be missed.
Wondering why such a cryptic message. Would be nice to understand why, eg tired of blogs, bought a sailboat …
Could be personal reasons that he doesn't care to share with the world. I can respect that.
Well, I interpreted it as more likely as an issue with the forum management to explain the suddenness and brusqueness. Someone profits over the volunteer efforts. Anyway, the outcome is the same and I will miss his posts.
This was my reaction also, although I didn’t venture a guess as to the specific issue. He wouldn’t be the first to resign from a position under such circumstances and avoid airing the laundry on his exit.
Most in his position would give a general reason if caused by change of situation or other personal reasons, even if not inclined to discuss beyond that.
In any case, Dave has been an important contributor and his departure is a loss to TF (including management) and the TF community. If it was indeed caused by some internal clash, it is an unfortunate price to pay.
I see nothing inappropriate about being concerned or curious. Few would give it a thought or wonder why if he was not a highly regarded contributor. No one is prying into his personal life. I wish Dave the best and hope he decides to return in the future.
