I am sorry to hear that. You have brought us some interesting mandates
and attracted some interesting submissions. I know that the monthly stream of abuse and whining makes you feel sore and tired. Take it from me, I for one appreciate what you have done. Walter..

No reason, I'm just tired of doing it and I think it needs some new blood. |

I know that the monthly stream of abuse and whining makes you feel sore and tired. Honestly, the trolls have nothing to to with it. I just feel I've gone stale, and the shoot-in needs something new. It's been a good run, and I've enjoyed it, but I need to step aside. FWIW, I think anyone my age has had to deal with the likes of 'net trolls for their entire life. Their like is nothing new, and they'll be around forever, internet or not. We've all had to deal with those whose entire lot in life seems to be to tear down what others accomplish, while they themselves accomplish nothing. They need to knock someone else down in order to make themselves feel better. They come from all walks of life, and are, at best, pathetic. I've chosen, for the most part, to ignore them. I plan to continue tp participate in the discussions here, and I'm hoping someone else will give it a go with the shoot-in. If not, no big deal. There's lots of other "shoot-ins" available, like the challenges on DP Review. But even those have gone stale and some of the topics haven't even drawn a single submitter. Anyway, I plan to try and shoot a few pix for the last mandate, as always, and wait for the comments that usually follow, which are my favorite part. Always nice to hear another opinion, positive or "constructive." Take it from me, I for one appreciate what you have done. Walter.. Bowser wrote: OK, this mandate is my last.

Truth is, it was them who kept me going for a while. Their constant whining about the shoot-in gave me all the reason I needed to at least attempt to keep it going. If I could **** them off one more day, I feel I succeeded. They remain irrelevant to me, really. NYC, eh? Hmm..... I'm only 255 miles away. :-) |

Also, we try to spend some time in Maine, or Upstate NY, which is a lot closer. But that's not until at least late June, at the earliest. -- Peter |

Bowser, I want to thank you for brightening my life with your mandates, the pictures that are submitted and the often interesting discussions that ensue. I have often wanted to join in, but I am home bound and even bedridden most of the time. I first developed a serious interest in photography at age 11, 71 years ago, and though my activities are severely limited I truly enjoy seeing what others are doing. I hope that someone will take over your highly-paid job and keep the mandates flowing. |

Conclusion: Bowser is talking crap, as usual. Nice to see that I'm still in your empty head. See if you can follow this: Your whining kept me going. YOU are irrelevant. Further explanations mean that you admit to being brain dead. |

Last time: the whining of irrelevant trolls gave me reason to keep going. Not you. Definitely not you. Good bye, and good, you're history. Moron. You just won Oxymoron of the Year 2011. (Conclusion: Bowser is still talking crap, as usual.) |
