I'm done with this cow patty of a site, too. see ya my friends, I've lost all patience at this point.?

Sorry to lose you. You are one of my idols here.

Dude. WTF can I say? I'll just speak from the heart. The same strong passion that makes you a good musician can bring pain, and some of us know that well. And when things go wrong with you, it hurts me too.

You go sit on the beach, watch those waves roll in, clear your head and heart, and we will keep a candle in the window. I will not hold you to your stated intent - I refuse to accept it.

You know what I mean by "it don't mean 'nothin", brother man. Reach for that, too.

By the way, out here, it's "cow pie" not patty. Gotcha. I'm gonna go break something.

Gosh Russell, you're a mainstay of this place. But I totally understand, sorry though I am to see you go. I hope you decide top come back someday, but it's more important that you relax and have a chance to unwind. Hope things look up for you soon.

Love you. Russell - and you know that I have left for months at a time, as have others - and many good folks left permanently. We will miss you - but totally understand your frustration. I think I am going to leave the cell phone forum - every day, another "So I forgot I was on the phone when I jumped into the pool - so, should I put it in RICE, or should I just put it in the microwave for 2 minutes??" There are over SEVENTY THOUSAND of those phone-plus-water questions. I feel your pain.

Hey Danny, email me when the stupid questions go away. When my next move is to break my strat on someone's head becuase they are so stupid , it is time to move along. Cya, Mikey and Norm and OU812 and Nasty Troll. And Tommy MC , love you all, but I can't take anymore stupidity. time for me to hang up my guitar and ride into the sunset.

Maybe I'll be back someday, but right now, I can't take it anymore. Cheers all

Hope you don't leave. Your answers are always among the best on this forum.

I was just about to come back from my long break with a bag full of fresh advice/opinions thinking things might have changed. Thanks for the heads up Russell.

Lots of us will miss you Russell. Take care.

Bye-eee.
