He,s gone, he’s gone
Oh I, oh I
I better learn how to face it
He’s gone, he’s gone
Oh I, oh I
I'd pay the devil to replace him
He’s gone, and he’s gone
Oh why, what went wrong?

The OP is spirited, a straight shooter, opinionated, and he'll tell you what he thinks. He has some knowledge and experience, too. I hope he will return tan and well-rested. He livens up the place.

Obviously, some posters don’t like the initiation of such threads or the style of the OP. I think he contributes considerably to the forum on a wide range of topics.
I found him argumentative and always needing to have the last word. He would sometimes switch positions mid-thread just for the sake of winning an argument.
Some call him knowledgeable but he posted mindless dribble as often as true contributions to a thread and that's before he'd derail it with his arguing.
Personally, I think he needs to look in the mirror and take an honest assessment of what he posts. It's not all good.
He is articulate in his posts, and never gets emotional or angry. I like his contributions to these forums. I hope he returns sooner, rather than later.
I wish him luck, and hope he is not dealing with any serious issues.

EBay threads will certainly never be the same. At least we still have ErrorsOnCoins.

He hasn’t posted, has he? If not, I think that qualifies. It sounds like you miss him badly.
The attention seeking through arguing was too much for me. I’ll enjoy his absence while it lasts. Ebays bound to make some minuscule change that’ll bring him roaring back next week.

Just need a break. That's all I said. That's all I meant. Not sure why some of you apparently have chosen to read more into it. I didn't criticize anyone or call anyone out. I didn't complain about anything that happened here. I just need a break. I didn't say it was forever. I didn't leave in a huff. I didn't bother to explain because I thought none was needed. I just wanted to say "goodbye" to the few people who might care that I'm not around.
I've spent most of the summer dealing with my best friend's widow and trying to sell off his estate. It has been emotionally exhausting. He was a member here. He's the one who really got me back into coins in a big way. Every auction, every price move in PMs makes me think of him. His widow contacts me every day, mostly for emotional support and a connection to him. I just needed a break.
The forum can be very addicting and it is better to make a clean break. When and if I return, I'll remember not to say "hello again" cuz apparently "hello" and "goodbye" are bad etiquette. Well, at least when some of us do it.

In case anyone missed it.
I just don't understand the special announcement. There are plenty of posters here that have taken breaks over the years. Few of them see the need to start threads about it. Every time you receive a PM, and you can configure the settings to receive an email. If anyone needs to reach him, they can PM him. There is no need for pomp and pageantry.

But you skipped the “hello again” part! Neil Diamond deserves some credit.
“Hello, again, hello
Just called to say hello
I couldn't sleep at all tonight
And I know it's late
I couldn't wait
Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you every night
When I'm here alone
And you're there at home
Hello
Maybe it's been crazy
And maybe I'm to blame
But I put my heart above my head
We've been through it all and you love me just the same
And when your not there
I just need to hear
Hello, my friend, hello
It's good to need you so
It's good to love you like I do
And I feel this way when I hear you say
Hello
Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you every night
And I know it's late but I could't wait
Hello”

Thank you. I'm dressed now. Seriously I hate to see longtime members leave. Hopefully he will return after a short respite and continue to contribute.

Well glad it’s a hobby for me. Good luck, if it’s not fun a time-out is needed. Lucky for me I have 3 other hobbies I rotate through.

I guess I have not been around enough to know that he was even here. Oh, well, so long.
Note to self. NEVER EVER do a goodbye thread.
This is a tough crowd.
selling a lot and working over 40 hours a week takes a toll on me too, but i never spent much time on here
Most of us take breaks.
Few announce it.

At least he said "Time for a break". Which is understandable, and polite of him to let us know. At least we know he didn't die.
I vaguely remember past dramatic "good byes" from others who were crying the blues about the way they, or others, had been treated.
Just about all eventually came back, even though some threatened to never return to the forums.
Nobody can stay away from here long. At least voluntarily anyways. They usually have to be banned to be gone forever.
I know I would go nuts if I couldn't log on here many times every day.
I never need a break from here. Where else are you going to find an assemblage of like minded coin collectors like we have here?
I love coins, and I love these forums! I will never say goodbye.

Okay! I'm sorry dammit! You'll have to turn off the ignore button first.
Take care ole boy your wisdom will be missed.
