That is one closet in which I intend to remain!

Pete! I wonder!

Thanks for the info Daisy - just realised this will be my 8,000th post.
Think I'll have a cup of [tea] to celebrate!!

Congratulations on your 8000th post, Pete! May your posts(surely enough) keep coming.

Thanks Sixret.

I sort of made a decision a while back to retire once I had reached a certain amount and leave some space for the next generation.

Yes, I considered retiring from the forums some time ago - once I had reached 20,000 posts. I have just passed my 12th anniversary and have probably nearly said all I can say on Enid's books.

You never know, Nigel. Other people's observations can trigger new thoughts at times.

And I crawled past my 10,000th post on New Year's day, Pete.

Please, don't! I enjoy reading your posts.
And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Oh I don't know, Nigel - at your age you'll probably forget what you said and say it again.

I do!

I should hate to see any of our forumites retire. From the forums that is.

[Rob Houghton]

me too! Its great to have everyone's different views, and because of the vast array of different ages, there are people who remember the original editions, the original magazines, etc right through to young people like Sunskriti and Maria Esther. A really good diversity of opinions and ages.

I'd also hate to see people retire from the forums. I hope there will always be new things to talk about in the world of Blyton - or fresh angles on old things!

That's what's happening a lot to me!

Please don't. You just never know that some of your comments have made me chuckle, smile or even laugh out loud. And I enjoyed reading your postings when you put a new perspective, thoughtful remark to old threads. I have always liked you.

Please don't. I enjoyed reading most of your witty one-lined comments. Some of them really made me laugh out loud. I have known you through internet for so long since Yahoo group and for me you are always a synonym for Enid Blyton Society forum.
