I am only sorry we did not get to meet.  If you are ever in my neck of the woods, I'd love to hear from you .  I'll miss you on the boards as a voice of reason and wish you well in everything.  I only hope your reasons for retiring were positive ones and everything in your life is good.

I wish you well.

Even though we didn't meet, you will be missed.

from your posts, you're clearly bright as well as beautiful. best.

Dear Ms. Moore:
Congratulations and good luck as you proceed to the next phase of your life and other entrepreneurial endeavors. I am sure that you will take the lessons and experience learned in the hobby and apply them to other areas of your life that you would deem relevant. You contributions, insight and editorials will be sorely missed by the participants on the board and in the hobby.  Also I know that you planned well and you where anticipating this day for quite a while. Godspeed to you young lady.

Time ran out on my dumbass!

Reagan....Your insights and well thought out comments will be missed here.
As someone who has had the good fortune to have met you I will personally miss the opportunity to see you again.
You were remarkable breath of fresh air.

I wish you all the best.

That's not how I expected this to end

I had guesses, but this wasn't even on the list.

...You can still contribute, even if it's under an alias.

What most of the others have said. Enjoyed your posts. Sorry to see you go. Wish you happiness and success in your life.

Now I've got to cancel my Birthday!!   LOL

it seems to me you announcing your retirement like you did and then saying you're not discussing it is really you screaming for someone like me to ask you what went wrong? Its certainly none of our business, but if you want to talk about it we're here. If not, and it's painful and too personal, you should at least talk to some close friends about it to get you the support you need. Of course I could be totally off base but I have a hunch. Regardless, I hope that you're ok.
