Sorry to see you go, but this is one reason why I have only 1000+ posts to my name after being here for 5 years. This is a forum I want to continue to visit, so I want to avoid burn out.

If we all quit posting once we've said our piece, this forum would be a ghost town.

Maybe we should pay him to stay on for another 11,000 posts?
I'll miss FD too but 9K posts is a lot of time spent online and not on one's family or work--better to spend that time with his wife/kids/clients (in that order). So good luck, FD!

Best luck to everyone on here, you're a bunch of great folks to be

You'll be lurking only. Does that mean you are actually semi-retiring from the Early Retirement Forum?
I, too, will miss you and hope you won't be able to tolerate your semi-retirement from the Early Retirement Forum.

Bbb: Do try to behave yourself  ! Thatīs far from being ladylike! Iīm sure that you can come up with more proper means of threatening, i.e. that piece of yours with the quaint red plug on it  .

Odds are currently 34:1 that FD will post again before Aug 15th.
I sure wish I could stop posting. I tried putting myself on ignore so that at least I wouldn't be able to read my posts.
