As one who suffers from a mild case of OCD, I can see how the probation tag could grate on your nerves after a while. But you have to remember that you're being much harder on yourself than anyone else is. Aside from a few like shrimp boy, the old timers know and respect you and therefore the probation tag holds no weight.
I've always enjoyed reading your posts, even when I disagree. After all, most of us have far more in common than not.
If you don't reconsider, at least drop in from time to time and show us your latest flame thrower or Halloween costume. And if the Boston PD goes postal over some more light brights, I'll expect you front and center mister.
Good luck to you, what ever you decide.
