Wooooha! Did someone just say it's officially "TACO™" Tuesday????
Retiring at 55, what day is today?
@keets said: if I return, I'll remember not to say "hello again" cuz apparently "hello" and "goodbye" are bad etiquette
You say yes, I say no, you say stop, and I say go, go, go
Oh no - You say goodbye, and I say hello
Hello, hello - I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
Hello, hello - I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello!!!
When I saw the title of this thread, that very same Beetles song started playing in my head.

For those that are interested. Paul McCartney did write "Hello,Goodbye", but he also wrote/produced a song called "Goodbye" which was a hit for and recorded by Mary Hopkins, she of the hit single"Those Were The Days". Music class is now dismissed.

I will sort of miss him where he has 2-4 successive posts. It's as if he keeps thinking after he posts instead of collecting his thoughts first.
I had several chemistry professors at Berkeley who did things exactly the opposite way. He would have been quite a challenge for me as an instructor. I would have dropped him.

I would be most impressed if you could replicate textile toning. If it is so easy, let's see it. I'm not going to say that it can never be done, but I would hardly call it "easy" or the number of textile toners on the market would explode.

I believe it is. Now if I suddenly create a thread and leave would it be double dramatic since it was my thread that started this fiasco?

He explicitly stated in the thread that if he could do it, he wouldn't show his work, but would instead just sell it. Quintessential @jmlanzaf gambit to insulate himself from ever being proven wrong.

I counted 18 on the first two pages not so long ago. I wondered if the author has had a recent life altering change. Like a divorce or ??prison release?? Which could in fact be a divorce, lol.
I can not ever think of one thing to start a topic let alone 18. I thought maybe he was a mod who was trying to inject life into the forum.

My guess is that it’s none of those, but rather, an enthusiastic poster who has found a place to show and discuss his coins.

We'll see if an uncanny knowledge of forum lore and smoe of the inside jokes or writing styles and pet topics reveals hints at an alt.
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a AT coin in a slab
Never knowing who to cling to
When the tone turns bad.
And I would have liked to know you
But I was just a kid
Your chemistry burned out long before
Your legend ever did.
I don't get it. I really don't. There's so much beating around the bush going on here. If someone knows something then have the guts to come out and say it. Straightforward.......Otherwise, who cares? He doesn't want to post, so what the hell?.... I haven't heard this much cluckin since throwin' out chicken scratch to the hens.
if he can go through it, more power to him, it's like a alcoholic who had his last drink, it's hard but it can be done. he will have more time to list and ship on e bay and will get more rest
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that frown on yer face ?
Seriously, I hope we'll see each other at RNA meetings soon again. I'm not in to Zoom at all.
You've probably got enough on your plate at RIT already. Enjoy the break.

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 don’t think anybody would debate any of this ( although the OP actually might) but there is an unwritten forum rule of when you leave just leave. No exit threads. Just tell someone you know that if anyone asks, “ I’m ok” and leave it at that.

Please don't stop. You're doing fine. Some guys are just cranky and leery of first timers do to past experience with alts, trolls, etc. They did it to me too but had little knowledge of just how great my posts would be and how awesome of a guy I am!
