Whilst I agree that normally these "goodbye threads" are usually bad news, I wonder if perhaps 4Para feels a little let down by some members of the community and I wonder if he's checking to see if there is any remorse.
Food for thought eh?

I agree. Yes, his posting was different. However, there is no rule against it. He can type his responses in Morse if he so desires. What you never saw was 4Para attacking anyone. He was never rude, condecending or any other variation of nasty. Despite all of that, nasty is precisely what he got in return, and all because people didn't approve of his syntax. If that isn't juvenile, then I do not know what juvenile is.
Normally, I lock 'farewell' threads. Nothing good comes of them. In this case, I made an exception in the hopes that the community can learn and grow from this. Shame on us, collectively.
