There's no way that I can say a proper "thanks!" for this facility and to its people, for the benefit and enjoyment that I've gotten from it me.
I would like to say a tiny "thank you!" all the same.

It's always a good time to say "thanks!", and as I have been able spend very little time here in the last few months, and because I can't see that changing, it is extra apropos to say "thank you" now, in case I just happen to disappear! I am happy to say that the lessening time I've spent here is the side-effect of a good thing - a healthier and busier and more bountiful life in the present world. I would like to continue posting, but I am going to have to develop some "discipline" in arranging time to do so!
Here goes then ... a "tiny thanks" ...
Thanks first to Chris for providing this facility, and to "The Raving Atheist" for setting an example of no-blows-barred anti-religiosity at the original Raving Atheist website, and for the agitators who agitated to get these here forums up in the first place, and got these forums going.
Thanks to the all you Raving
Atheists who have given of themselves here - and at the original RA comment threads - giving fun, wit, insight, encouragement, and raving rationality (!

!), etc, etc, etc!
Thanks to you immoderate "mods", past and present, who have given of their time to keep this place legal and not-too-spammed and free.
Thanks to everyone who has shown me friendliness here.
I really mean that!
I can't mention everyone, but I really do mean
you when I say "thanks".
I am very glad to have had a place to share, and people to who I could share with - my ideas and experiences.
It is great to have a place to meet, is it not?

Philboid and Rhino have often (it seems to me) shown appreciation and/or interest in my postings - so thank's for that!
Also thanks to Kate for making me laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, and laugh again! Thanks to HC for her cheery friendliness.And thanks to Ghoulslime for his care-free irreverance, and love-of-life.
Thanks to Waddlie, Smelly, and the Judge for making me feel very welcome when we met.
I very much hope to get together with you guys again.
There has been a
lot of people who have given
loads of value here which has been a benefit to me.
Thank you all!
Raving Atheists will be made welcome if you ever pass my way.
