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. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Mark, you leaving the boards? 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? |

The kitties have written 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. Sincerely, Keith Sir Arthur C Clarke 1917-2008 |

Methinks the kitties will be back... ;) (Dogs usually get lost, but cats always find there way back.) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

I am sorry friends, I've just been feeling like a Dirty Old Stray lately. 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! "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me |
