It's been a blast these past 6+ years.

If you need to get in touch, search my handle -- there shouldn't be too many of me around. Or just wait around: maybe I'll be back some day.
 
Physics news on Phys.org


Why? :confused:
 


Really! I love having differences of opinion that can be talked about rationally and resolved (or not) but collegially. Please don't go.

Seconded...
 


I'm really sorry to tell you this. You are not going anywhere. I don't do anything here and I can't get out.
It's easier to walk out of the Eastern Star/Masons than leave physicsflorms.stuck.
This thing is universal. There is no where you can go where you can not log on and you, whoever you are, know your probably really needed and admired and that will keep you coming back because you are not so cold hearted as to just not be there for the people who depend on you.
So all I gots to say is ...
WELCOME to Physicsforums. :biggrin:

You can check out, but you can never leave. Send me more errata.
 


WHY!?
(thirded!)

Thanks an Avogadro :wink: again for all stuffs you've helped me with!

I hope you do, and soon. It's been a pleasure debating issues with you, and your contributions to the Math forums will definitely be missed.

Go to de rooot! :biggrin:

RootX first brought this up, it's definitely the best PF fish slap ever, and after Borek post the whole scene of this clip, I can understand why the guy aims before he smacks. :smile:

I'll miss the debates. As for math... I just hope someone else handles Number Theory in my absence! :-p

I had little if any interaction with you, but from what I recall, your posts, which I looked forward to reading, were very poignant, intelligent and thought provoking. Ignore the rude guy (post #17) and very best wishes.
