      Again, my friend, thank you! It felt good to go out on a winning streak, even if that streak was one. LOL  It's time for this HP dinosaur to turn it over to the young pups. I hope there are some good ones out there who understand the importance of what they do.

   Thanks bill. There are and I'm sure there will be some good'uns but I see much quantity without quality. Annoying that I had to start this all over again!

   Yes, you said it all, Ann. If HubPages only knew what they were losing with Bill moving on to greener pastures.

      Thank you once again, John! HP is lucky to have you remaining here and active, but I doubt if they know it.

   I'm sad to discover that billybuc is leaving HP, though I suppose I understand. We started here around the same time. I don't believe we've interacted very often, but I have always been aware of his presence, and impressed with his mission here.
   
   Mr. Holland, I wish you the best of luck with whatever is next. I see you have a website in the works. This is a major loss for HubPages, but I hope a wonderful new start for you.

      Thank you Eric! I appreciate the kind words. I gave it everything I had on HP for ten years, and overall it was a great experience. I met some incredible people through this site, and that is a gift that keeps on giving.  Best wishes to you!

      Thank you Vidya! I've got a lot of stories in my brain, but no time designated for writing them.  Maybe one day I'll resurface on HP. Until then, best wishes to you, and thank you for your friendship.
