To: Celtic Cross; Grizzled Bear
Bear, I read it the same way you did. But I had a look at Celtic Cross' webpage and decided it was unlikely it was meant the way both of us read it.

Celtic Cross, in case you don't know (and I hope you don't), "Don't let the door hit you on the way out" or its variants is actually a common phrase used to indicate that you're not sorry to see somebody leave - it's a way of telling them to get lost, really. I do hope that isn't what you intended, but it is how I read it to begin with, and I think how Bear did as well.

This explains that useage - it may be more common some places than others.
