So . . . (and a sentient LRPD)
"They are no longer just like me. I shall punish them by my absence!"
And the sentient LRPD as I selected to add this comment -
"Those bastards".
Perhaps our English friend will someday realize that in the long view, techie stuff, expensive cars and racing airplanes really hold very little meaning.

See, he doesn't even need to be here.
The LRPDs are filling in for him - they know just what to say.

Whenever I do that, they look at me like I'm handing them a glass of Ebola Virus Cocktail saying, "Drink Up!" Too much of today's music is fashionable crap dressed as artistry.Adrian Belew

Yeah, I too think that must have been the proverbial straw.
With a special bonus helping of guilt for me, seeing as how betrayed he must have felt by (t)his fellow Old-Sk^H^HWorld Grammar Nazi. :-(

Yeah, but...
That thread seemed strange to me at the time. Being an editor at K5 for ages, I'm sure he's encountered worse butchery of English on many occasions. (But it looks like he left K5 in January.) I was expecting it to be a one-off - "This is annoying me!" - post. I assumed more was going on behind the surface when it dragged on... :-(
Oh well. Life's too short to hang around places that cause one to feel annoyed. With luck, he'll be back.
Peter's a big boy. Don't feel that you helped drive him away. :-)
Cheers,
Scott.

He was jumping down everyone's throat
There is something going on to which we aren't privy.
I wish him better days and hope someday he will return with his humor intact.
Smile,
Amy
