   My sentiments exactly. Between the spam, the annoying robot checks, and the   
   lack of CTs who are capable of presenting   
   lucid arguments for a conspiracy, this place is losing its charm. I think I   
   went about a year hardly posting at all so it's not   
   going to be difficult walking away again. Let the crazies post their drivel.   
   There's probably only going to be about 6 people   
   left here come February 15. When Yellowpanties no longer has anybody posting   
   things for him to delete, I wonder what he   
   will do with himself. On second thought, I don't want to wonder about that at   
   all.
