Finis, my man...someone has to say this. You had a great career, and seem like a good guy--even though we seem to agree on nothing.

You have earned a fantastic retirement. Why are you sullying it by wading back in? This is a backwater swamp. You belong on the open water. I envy you for being able to walk away from this madness.

You just retired. Let go. Get dialed in to your new life. Lingering here is not healthy. Come back in a year or two. Talk to badflaps, Tom Goodman, etc. They found their way back here...and are solid contributors. I value their opinions and perspective. They've moved on, and emotionally distanced themselves from the insanity. Please do the same.
