LOL .... I think just like in the real world, there are all kinds of different personalities that show through in this cyber home. Sometimes it's about getting a bit of attention, sometimes it's about causing a bit of a stir in the forums, and sometimes it may simply be that the person has been a very active participant and feels it's eaiser to say goodbye in one message rather than 100 or so PMs .... Even when it is a really negative message that someone leaves ... I try to wish them well in finding what they seek in their life and hope that I truly feel it as I type the expression. Even if I haven't quite gotten to that point .... the old expression of "smile, it'll drive 'em crazy" gives me a sense of satisfaction!
