To all of the folks over the years, I'll say adios. The email addy's
accurate should anyone want. Otherwise, I hope that you all get some
happier lives 'cause there's obviously some foul ones out there.

Oh no ... damm it ... sorry to see you go, Steve. Again.

Thanks for summing up the current state of r.f.c in two seconds and then
saying "adios" before we even get to know who you are.

You should've been here last week. It was sweeeeet.

Conceited, pompous [censored]. Glad I didn't miss ya!

A lot of us do, he's a former regular, and I do miss him very much.
He's seen a lot of goings on here, too bad he had to come around in
time for yesterday's stupid fiasco.

We do know he is. A reasonable person who posted recipes and
participated civilly for years. An apology would be in order, I think,
but he wouldn't see it unless it were mailed. Pompous [censored], huh?
Funny.

You are a relative "newbie"; Steve Calvin posted here for years and years.
Most of us old-timers remember Steve.

Last week? Try the last 48-72 hours. It was idiotic.

nancy, Melba and Jill,

Fine. You know the guy. I don't and most of the others don't and the
last thing I'll accept is a take our word for it attitude.

What's grossly overlooked is his sudden out of nowhere opinion of r.f.c
and "adios in disgust" disappearing act.

Again, I'm glad I didn't miss him.

You may agree amongst yourselves about his worthiness and that's OK, but
not with me.

Andy, Steve is sweet, much in the same way you're sweet. I had surgery
a few years ago. Steve had never stood out enough that I had even
noticed him (he tends to blend in with the scenery - I know you'd
recognize some of his posts, though). Anyway, he asked for my snail
mail address, and sent me a get-well card. That blew me away. Now,
when I refer to him with Crash, I have to say, "the guy who sent me the
get-well card."

If I'd come in last night for the first time in awhile, I'd have
thought I had accidentally wandered into one of the mental health
support groups run amuck. I'll let him know when the coast is clear,
and maybe I can get him back in here. You'd like him.

Sorry you're leaving, Steve, because I've enjoyed your company
here in the past. Just bear in mind that newsgroups go in cycles,
and you checked in during a rather silly one...

Steve, I didn't read rfc for one single day and came back to a
completey different news group.

If he is so great, why does he come blazing in to announce he is leaving
because the rest of us are ill behaved? Sounds like a pompous [censored] to
me. Good riddance.

Well, I guess I'm coming from the advantage of 'knowing' him for some
time. I didn't read it as you did. At any rate, all I said was that a lot
of us
do know him when Andy said 'we don't know you' and that I miss him.
I didn't say everyone had to miss him.

I remember the name fro a long time back, but that is neither good nor bad.
Anyone, and I do mean anyone, that has to stop by just to announce their
disdain for others as a group is still a pompous [censored], IMO.

If he was to stick around and contribute, that would improve the
signal/noise ratio. He chose to leave and detract on the ratio instead.

Dan,

That's hardly fair. He took 2 seconds to summarize r.f.c Why should I
take hours to read up on him?

LOL. How is it that you can speak for 'most of the others' when there
is no way to know how many 'others' read the group?

Gosh! My ballot to elect a worthiness monitor must have gotten lost in
the mail. Was there any candidate who proposed Good food, Good natured
banter, and Good manners? Many wise and witty posters have found the
manners brutish and the content simply meanspirited. Our loss to be
sure. Pam

It's not that bad Steve. Stick around a bit. The holidays are right around
the corner and there is bound to be some lively cooking gab going on.

He's not here to read your message, Michael. I recommend writing to
him. I think that's the only way most of us will read his words again.
I talked to him yesterday, and he sounds very serious about not coming
back. 🙁 I'm very happy to be his penpal.
