Open letter to the Internet

[featherynscale]

Dear Internet People:

I understand that it sometimes comes to pass that you decide that you will no longer frequent the messageboards and forums where once you posted often. The gods know there are several I wander back and forth from, occasionally alarming my co-posters. And I understand that it is considered rude in some circles to simply leave without saying goodbye. But gods damn it, Internet People, if you must post long goodbyes to your forums, please do so in such a manner that your "I don't think I'm going to do Hamster style post here anymore" note is materially distinguishable from a suicide note.

Okay?

Thanks Ever So Much,
featherynscale, who has spent more of the last ten minutes wondering if a friend is dead than seems reasonable or wise.

I promise that should I ever write an "I'm leaving" note for a message board or forum (instead of just wandering away without comment as I usually do), it will be materially distinguishable from a suicide note. Furthermore, I promise that should I ever write a suicide note it will not, in fact, be posted to any message boards or fora, because that's just rude.
