Just wanted to let everyone here know. .

[Grog]

I always thought you did a great job as a mod, and I'm glad you're sticking around.

 

[dizneenut]

Sorry to hear this, Willy, but glad you'll still be around the CB.
I look forward to meeting you at Riddle Con.

I'm going to miss Saturday night chat with Willy. No one else knows how to make a blue martini.

 

[glo]

Willy you are one of the corn coolest people on this board (sorry Charlie) Your posts were either thought provoking, or extremely witty and hysterical, something I just can not do. It was a pleasure being a co-mod with you. I am glad that you will still be here, this place just wouldn't be the same without you here. Lots of peace and happiness to you and Maggie. Hope you will still visit Sat night chat?

 

[Kteacher]

Hope to still see you in Sat. night chat and around the boards though You are great!

 

[Steve H.]

Sorry to hear that Wiily. Heck, I still remember the late-night chat sessions (well, morning for me) in Singapore with you and a few others -- those kept me sane (relatively speaking ) while I was so far from home.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around what has happened, since I just got home and am trying to play catch up, but I just wanted to say that I love you, buddy! So many times we've been on the same side about issues, and I appreciate all the support you have given me from a moderator standpoint. I can't imagine that support not being there anymore. I know you will be o.k. with this decision, but will I?

Just as long as you aren't leaving for good though, your posts are always so witty and insightful..........

Willy - glad you're not going anywhere. Can't wait to read the "unleashed" WillyJ threads.

 

[nativetxn]

{{{HUGS}}} WillyJ. You will still visit the cb, right? I would just miss you too much if you didn't visit the cb.

 

[JAP]

Smooches Willy! You will be missed as a mod but thank you for the job you have done and the time that you put towards the DIS.

I am sure everyone will still see you around.

Hugs, Will. I do know how you feel when you say it is a relief and you'll find posting to be fun again, not a chore.

You have been a dear friend to me and that can never change. I'm not saying good bye because you aren't going anywhere!

I'll email you.
Love ya!
Cath

 

[Silky]

Take care of yourself. I'm personally sorry to see that you're stepping down. We've certainly had our differences, but I've ALWAYS respected you for your directness and candor.

I seldom participated in your CHATS, but I frequently tried to read your weekly posts which invited people to participate...... great writing and outstanding humor!!!!

I'm glad that you'll continue to contribute here; you're inimitable

Peace, brother

Willy, I am glad you are staying around but I will miss you as a Mod

 

[Blondie]

What can I say that hasn't already been said!

While I'm happy for you and Maggie, I'm sorry for the rest of us! We'll all feel a loss from not having you as a moderator anymore.

But I know you'll still be around, in true WillyJ form! I'm looking forward to meeting you in a few weeks!

 

[Nikole]

Will I said it in a PM, and I'll say it here. Your wit and humor will be missed. You and I had talked about this a while back and I know how you feel. Enjoy it! As Cath said...if it's a chore, it's no longer fun. The internet is meant to be fun. IMO

So let loose and have some fun!

 

[fklhou]

I am sorry that you are stepping down. Now, if you want come over to the Debate Board and have some real fun.

 

[WillyJ]

Well, I think you're all being too kind, and I appreciate it a lot. . LOL!!


Seriously, thank you to everyone who has posted here and/or sent along a message in private. . . the kind words mean more then I can say. .


Maggie and I have Riddle Con next weekend, and then a long trip to WDW right after (looking forward to seeing so many of you at one or the other! ) so I may not be around a lot in the near future. . . but I'm not leaving the CB and my friends here, and yes, I will still drop into chat on a regular basis- someone can make me drinks for a change. .


Like Cath said, it's not a goodbye- it's just a change, and one that it was time to make.


Pat, Glo. . thank you both for your posts. . I'm proud to call you both my friends. . And Judi, I'll still be here for ya my friend, and I'm always just a phone call away. . .

Steve, "sanity" is not a word I've ever associated with those chats with you from the old "long Bar". . . LOL!! but I remember them well and they were definitely a blast. .

Thanks again everyone. . . Maggie is yelling at me to get off here and start packing so I better go. . LOL!!

Willy--

There is nothing I can say that has not been said already. You know how I feel. I'm glad you will still be around. Now, go read my email to you!!!
