The kitties have written
'bout their troubles and trials.
They have held many truths
and have told few denials.

But the time now has come
for the kitties to say
that they've had lots of fun
but they're going away.

Away from this place
full of challenge and strife.
Away from this place
with little to do 'bout this life.

I've told you all here
'bout where I've been and I've gone..
I've given to all some advice
and sang to all my fun songs.

I've shared all I had
of the trouble I've lived though
And held little back shared
with posts that I'd give you.

Still some here have dissed me
and sent me away.
And a few kitty haters
sent me 'long on my way.

'S cold 'round here now with the crunchers'
power switches shut down.
And the kitties are not sure
why their master doth frown.

It may be an hour
or it may be a day.
'Till the crunchers decide when
to come back to the fray.

I have bargained and bickered with
the least of you all
and smiled and shared stories
'bout the kitties and all.

But some would not listen
and some had to quibble
'bout my songs and my stories
'bout the kitties and kibble.

So here you all have it
I've gone aft aglay....
The kitties will be here
in bed where I lay.

I've tried hard to share here
my kitties and life.
And sometimes it tumbled a bit
over to strife.

But share as I did
I thank those who did listen.
And shared with me sometimes
the love of a kitten.


Later,
Mark.

Mark, there are currently over 1.2 mil crunchers registered. I bet there are more cat lovers than cat haters. Don't let the idiots win.

Hold your head high & continue your way. Everybody has faults, both good & bad - the decent amongst us recognises this fact. I, for example, do not tolerate fools gladly & over the years it has caused problems. However, because I still maintain my attitude to work & life, it has gained me a lot of respect from people I did not expect it from.

Please stay on the boards as your postings have helped a lot of crunchers & I'm pretty sure that they don't object to you.

Regards

PJ

Mark, it can be difficult to feel that you're alone in the dark... when the light comes back remember that there are those who would miss your kitty meanderings (me included) :)
Happy birthday Calm Chaos!!! Terrible twos?


Calm Chaos... are you feeling it yet?

Mark, I'm sorry to read this, and hope that I have not contributed in any way to your decision to quit these boards.

I am definitly not a cat hater, but I do hate injustice. I try to read or listen to both sides of an argument before holding any strong opinions in one direction or another.

I hope that you will be back soon, and that your massive contribution to SETI and distruted computing will be recognized by others here.

SETI@home remains a great online community, but would be sadder and emptier if it were to lose one of it's greatest assets.

that should have been distributed computing in case anyone misunderstood my typo.

Be good to yourself, and be well. Cheers

Ok, I have written a prescription for you:

8 kittie ears rubbed per day until the blues has gone.

And get some sleep. Doctor's orders!
