Quote by Tom Quinn:

I closed my shop for the same reason as I think Joanie bailed -- a few doofus's who just didn't know when to quit. In my case it was some a$$hole named Ragin' Cajun.

Tommy ~ for what it's worth, I didn't "bail" because of comments and/or problems with the people posting here. I just have other interests that are demanding so much of my time that I didn't feel that I was doing an adequate job being the host of this site.

We are all gonna miss you... you are the best! Come visit Sacto sometime...

Thanks for the kudos Tommy ~ I still check in here every day...just didn't want to deal with having to read each and every post and keep up with changing the header photos. I just felt that I wasn't doing an adequate job.

Mike and I go away frequently and most of the time we don't drag a laptop along with us, so when there were forum issues or problems while we were away, I'd have no way of dealing with them. We're going to Europe for 3 weeks starting on November 15th, so that sort of prompted me to decide to withdraw now from managing the board.

Since my mom died in 2003, I don't have any reason to visit Sacramento any longer as I don't have anybody there. Mike and I WILL be going through Sacramento on the California Zephyr in September 2009 on our way to San Francisco from Chicago. We'll spend a couple of days there and then take a week long leisurely drive down Highway 1 to Los Angeles. Really looking forward to that trip!
