varek's farewell

[varek]

Greetings, everyone. I hope all is going well for each of you.

In real life, I am a 61-year-old human, but I have played the role of a "Vulcan Engineer," here, so I hope you will permit me to finish out as such with these last few paragraphs of my farewell to this website.

It seems that the moment I have long dreaded--when I have ceased to make useful contributions to this site--has arrived. It is time for me to step aside and let younger heroes rush off on their adventures. I will cling to the side of the corridor, so I don't get trampled in the stampede!

I hereby submit my resignation as a Starfleet officer and will return to civilian life. After outprocessing, I will take a shuttle back to ShiKahr, my home on Vulcan, and warm up again. (Federation starships tend to be set cooler than my tastes.)

After a few days with family and friends, catching up on things, I will contact various schools and institutions, to see if anyone wishes to utilize my talents and experience. Meanwhile, I will converse with friends and engage in small projects, to keep busy.

It has been a great honor for me to have been welcomed here on The Trek BBS website, replete with brilliant minds and fascinating celebrities. I will always remember my good friends and the exciting times experienced here! Thank you for giving me these opportunities.

To everyone I say auf Wiedersehen, a bientot, vaya con Dios and, as Red Skelton always used to say, "Good night, and may God bless" you. Live long, and prosper.

Your friend,

Varek

Was it the ancient alien thread? Whatever your reasons for leaving, don't do it because your posts don't appear useful in yours or anyone's estimation. Much of what's posted here is quite useless. Of what use is knowing about, much less posting about models of the Enterprise used on the show? This place should be about enjoying yourself and meeting some folks. Try some of the other forums, or just take a break for a while. Still, if this is the end of posting here, do have a great time wherever you go.

Don't feel like that, Varek. You have a way of turning a phrase and aggrandising this franchise, like none other. Even on that alone, I consider your posts a good read ...
