Wow thanks for all the kind words. I've always feared I was perceived as an overly-moralistic pain in the arse, oddball dreamer with too-high expectations. I am a dreamer for sure. Like someone from my old village once said: I'm not the only one!
Funny really, all these years of fighting but I don't feel I have a single enemy here.
There's a reason I'm making a clean break from the forum. I've adapted to being here naturally and am now quick to confront and sometimes grumpy and short-tempered. Tiny Shida's just at that impressionable age now. I want to set a better example for him and secretly I also crave the inner calm I always used to have. Been facinating for me to explore that side of human interaction.
=S= Sensei, I will truly miss you. 
You keep flying Grasshopper. Remember what I taught you about your throttle. Everytime you fly endeavour to make a small improvement. There's so much to learn. The Tao of ACM! The hard work is it's own reward. Remember to be faithful to who you are. That's always been more than good enough for me. It's been a privallage to fly with you.
Besides, if I am ever going to be in your part of the world, I want to be sure I can contact you. I remember offering to buy you a pint (of beer) once, which we revised to a root-beer 
and I hope to honor that commitment someday!
Yeah Ryno that would be cool. I don't drink the booze you see. Can't afford any mind altering substances with the imagination I've got
I've put my email address back in my profile. I can usually be reached there I check every week or so. Make yourself(ves) known if you email me otherwise I'll think you're trying to sell me Viagra or an investment opportunity in the congo.
Did I tell you that you could leave Nrsh??? Get back in line!
Mar! <3 great times! Hope you are well old friend. Yes one should never say never. Who knows what the future brings.
Shida and I had a great fight.
I was very impressed with your flying ThreeUp. Your gentle Yo-Yos were giving me a lot of trouble with all that fuel. Very smart flying. Spixteen versus Hayate was always a good fight.
Beer! Always fear the Mossie flown by the Aussie!
Hate to see you go shida, had many good fights with you in the DA <<S>> sir, see you around when you start training baby shida
Thank you Biggamer, hope you are well.
Best wishes Sir
Hope you'll come back at some point.

I, for one, will miss you....
Fair winds and a gentle sea....
Thank you sir. Most respected AH member. All the best to you and your family
Hope you reconsider. You are a voice of reason, a great stick, and above all a really nice guy.
Good luck with little Shida!
<3 TonyJoey a class act and top stick!
I'm slowly trawling through all the PMs I've received. Please be patient I will eventually reply to them all.
