The Last Post: Goodbye

3 May 2004

I really don't know what to say! Quite literally. :cry:
Heartbroken is about the nearest I can get to it. Arti, my dear chap. Much reference has already been made to your wit and intelligence and to the fact that you are a true gentleman. I can certainly echo all of that.
This Forum will be a far less interesting and entertaining place without you. I feel that I have just lost one of my best and closest friends from here. As Sappho has said, PLEASE keep in touch with us. It would be such a shame if we lost contact altogether.
For the record, and to ease your own conscience, you always made it clear that you had no sexual interests here and that you were here for the wit and the banter. In that sense, I don't think that you were being unfaithful at all and you shouldn't beat yourself up about it. However, if you were having to be here clandestinely then I can understand why that would make you uncomfortable and we must all respect your reasons for leaving. Devastating though it is.
The very best of luck in all that you do and I wish you many years of joy with your children and grandchildren.
All the very best, my friend.
Will

Well, what a sad post to read after a lovely bank holiday helped by having Paul Wellerâ€™s â€˜Broken Stonesâ€™ playing in the background. When I first came across this site I found myself laughing at a reply you had posted to someoneâ€™s thread, it was totally my sense of humour, and so I found a few more of your postings and realised that you had a be honest arti you are one of the reasons I joined this site.
Humour is an important feature of my life and I loved the way that you could create such wonderful imagery in my mind with your sublime wit. You also know how to keep adding to a comedy theme and making the thread funnier and funnier. I think most of all what I have noticed and admired about you arti is that in all your posts you never hurt anyoneâ€™s feelings or tried to score points off people. It was humour for the sake of humourâ€¦..done to simply put a smile on someoneâ€™s face, not to curry favor or ingratiate yourself or to make yourself look superior. You are a true gentleman.
In the short time I have been part of this on-line community I have genuinely enjoyed our all too brief comic exchanges. I will miss you.
I know (like myself) you enjoy the old westerns. You contributed to my thread about â€œFavourite Movie Momentsâ€ and mentioned that you enjoyed the ending of the film â€˜Shaneâ€™ where he rides off into the sunset with a vista of snow-capped mountains in the take that image as you ride off into the sunset artiâ€¦â€¦â€¦farewell, and take care of yourself and your family.
