    Will be sorry to see you go @TTony - I've not been a member of the forum for all that long but it's a place I enjoy coming to and it'll be a poorer place without your presence. 

    Much thanks and kudos to you for all you've done for us fretboarders.

  • Sorry to see you go, Tony.  Not been around all that long, but was a regular reader of the MR forum, and a member on the IM forum before that.  So I've followed it in all its guises, and watched it morph from one to the next.  This place has been by far the best.

    Take care, and enjoy your retirement.

  • All the best Tony.  You are definitely very level headed and reasonable and your input will be missed.

    I too will add my thanks for your fantastic efforts with the forum, including your patience, humour, bass playing skills at Quad 1, and much else besides. 

    Enjoy your retirement and the next chapter of your life.

    Good luck and all the best.

    @TTony ;I sincerely hope that whatever you decide to do next brings you only happiness, it is sure to be a success whatever it may be.

    I hope (perhaps in vein) that those who have contributed to this sad outcome will look themselves in the mirror, and that this place permanently bans those who engage in unacceptable behaviour.

       Sorry to see you go, thanks for all the good work you've done on here I hope your retirement goes well. I'm a great believer in "when the fun stops STOP"

       One day I will have the courage to lock my workshop up and never go back in. It was my 72nd birthday a couple of days ago, I've been making guitars on and off for 57 years, the fun has almost stopped.

       Enjoy your retirement and all the best for the future.

    Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

    I know how it feels to have had enough. I felt the same with my last band. The relief after pulling stumps was immense. Similarly when I was chairman of Trent Windsurfing Club, too much being asked of you and too little being offered. 

    Enjoy the break, come back when you feel better about this place (you will) and you'll be made welcome I'm sure. 

    All the best.

    I've never seen such a sentiment expressed better. 

    Belated Happy Birthday.

    I dont know you at all mate, but this place has been great to me and a fantastic resource ,  i suspect hundreds / thousands of others feel the same way
     It seems you played a massive part in that, so for that  i am indebted. I understand your philosophy about moving on and being quickly forgotten. Its how many people feel when they retire, but in this case ,people are actually bothered and appreciate your work. On behalf of myself and them, thanks man, much appreciated . Glwt future
