Now I wonder if anyone has left this forum because they won powerball or something? Would you announce if if you won 300 million or so, or just leave quietly? Or would you stick around and make posts about "Can I retire on 300 million?" (people would still say OMY I bet)

Why was this in the "Hi, I am..." section? Maybe we need a "Bye, I was".

Don't you remember that meetings are reminders of employment and were thereby banned?

Maybe a poll is needed to see who announced leaving and later returned or kept monitoring anonymously  .

This place gives too much value for me to leave, but I confess to ogling other places  .

I've stopped using forums. Sometimes I've gone back after a period of time and other times I've stayed away. I have never announced such a move though. Hmmm.......
Oh well.
Best of luck in all that you do, etc etc.

Wait, what? Powerball is the cornerstone of my ER plan.
