Final Words

If there's anything we have left to say about this place, and to each other, now is the time.

For the most part I have enjoyed my time here on the boards; I've made acquaintances and friends, and lost a few along the way. The IMDb message boards have been instrumental in assisting me polish how I express myself. Here I've learned to practice and exercise self-discipline in how I treat others and how I receive what they say to me; to learn new things and read other points of view; and lastly, the boards have been a tool for self-examination, to refine and more clearly define for myself what I believe and why I believe it; what's supportable and what's not. I think that, with the good and even the bad, overall it has been a positive experience. I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to interact with me here; I hope at least some have found me helpful. It's all I ever wanted to be.

I would like to single out for recognition some friends I've gained here:
Chx_Everlasting who, though she has left the IMDb, remains a close friend; and
Mithrandir-Olorin33, formerly JaredThaJa, a one-time Duelist* become friend. I count myself fortunate that he made me his chosen opponent here so many years ago.
aaahmemories, formerly worov, with whom I shall continue to talk after this place is gone.
