I'm leaving SoSuave

[Atom Smasher]

Hey Guys,

It's time for me to travel to other dimensions, and just don't feel right about leaving SS without saying goodbye.

The reason I'm leaving is that I want to get away from the subject matter for a while, to utilize what I've learned and retool myself personally and also retool my businesses.

One of businesses involves both art and science, and in the world of art it's important to step away completely from a piece in order to gain perspective. You come back to it with a new vision and with a certainty as to the next required steps.

So it is with life as art. In the places where you need to dig deep in order to create a life that is going to be one's masterpiece, at least for me it's necessary to step back from the core components to refresh one's perspective. A man develops an inner knowing when it's time.

Perhaps I'll be gone forever, perhaps for a week. I have no idea. But like I said, I didn't want to make a big deal of my leaving yet it just doesn't sit right with me to simply disappear without giving my friends here the respect of explaining my disappearance.

All the best,
Atom Smasher

Good luck atom... got some great advice off you in the past... thanx man

Best of luck brother. This place won't be the same without Mods like you. But SoSuave is ultimately a stepping stone where men come to teach and learn, then move on to better things.

Wish you the best and much success moving forward.

Nice one mate. All power to you. Stop by sometimes and say hi.

This is a favorite quotation of mine, which seems relevant. All the best.

'I am not yet so lost in lexicography, as to forget that words are the daughters of the Earth, and that things are the sons of heaven. Language is the only instrument of science, and words are but the signs of ideas: I wish, however, that the instruments might be less apt to decay and that signs might be permanent, like the things that they denote' - Samuel Johnson

Wish you all the very best

Don't disappear completely. Do drop by sometimes and let us know how things are going.

If you let us know how much is the internet bill in the retirement castle we will collect the cash for you to stay with us!

Ok seriously, sad that you leave Atom, you surely are one of the posters which provides quality to this board, good luck with your new plans and hope to see you back here.

A fair wind and following seas my man.

 

[GS750]

All the best brother. Stop in and say hi once in a while.

I wasn't here when Pook left, but I'm glad I can say farewell to one of the greats of SS. I'd say good luck with everything, but I'm sure you'll find a way to make success happen.

Hey Uncle Atom, you will be missed. I also have to say thanks for helping me out when I first came here, you were a huge part in my success in life thus far. I wish you the best and hope all goes well!:yes:

Well this sucks. The only legitimate right thinking and socially aware moderator SS actually has besides Rollo and Des who are both few and far between these days and you're leaving.

Goodluck mate, honestly hope you're back post-haste, even if it's not as frequent. From all the "wrong-thinkers" who you defended in the moderators corner we appreciate it
