So...fill me in on this. When some people leave the board, they quietly move on. But others post a message either a positive, "so long and thanks for the Fish" message or a slightly more ill-spiritied "thank God I'm leaving" type of message or the "I don't belong anymore" type.

What is it that makes people post a good bye message? Or for that matter, what makes people feel that are "leaving". From what I can tell, most of the relationships are virtual anyway - not that people aren't good folks and good internet friends, but I'm lacking the passion either way.

The ones that catch my eye the most are the more negative ones. Why or how do people feel that strongly? Just wondering.
