It is time for me to step back from editing. It has been an extraordinary 16+ years. My thanks to everyone who has helped, shown kindness and shared so much during my time here. To you (as well as to those who will be happy to see me leave) I wish you well as you continue on with the Wikipedia experiment. I will probably pop back in from time to time but any posts made here will not get answered in a timely fashion. I also know that things may change down the road. Cheers to one and all and happy editing whenever possible :-)MarnetteD|Talk21:17, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply] - In the immortal words ofDA "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" mmmm fish :-PMarnetteD|Talk21:31, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- You have a "retired" notice on this page, yet still continue to make edits. Does it mean you changed your mind and just forgot to take that down? If not and you plan on leaving, then farewell and I'll definitely miss you.SNUGGUMS (talk /edits)04:12, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your noteSNUGGUMS. Turns out I do drop in every couple days so I've updated my message. It is going to come to an end at some point though. Best regards!!MarnetteD|Talk04:24, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
