As some of you know Kinetic and myself will no longer be doing the TM threads. The mantle is being passed down to NWCTWX and TheCabal(If Cabal gets my PM and accepts)

I feel TM has seen it's time and can no longer do it justice. I believe in this thread, fought hard for/on this thread and I guess those happy to see me go will see this as a victory. The only victory is winning the War on Terror. And so very many of you have been trying so hard and working so hard and the feelings I got can never be put into words watching the crew here.

I hope Ian can keep this on track, it is a hard job I wish on no one.

Remember, the integrity Ian, trolls, infiltrator's will try to take that away.

I met my best friend here, my soulmate, my sister, MamaDearest and that has made me so rich. I have developed many connections and friends that I will always keep in my personal fight with this issue. Many who have seen so many injustice's and that is a whole other issue.

I will lurk, I will help my adopted son in any way I can.
I may post, but before TM, I was very involved for many years, on many threads and I miss that.

So here hopes this thread keeps going and all of you keep up the Patriotic Fight

The " Know When to Fold 'Em" Piper

Is that an Opus?

[LikeLight]

Thanks for your good work.

[JellyJam]

God bless you!!

[drymans wife]

I wish you would reconsider. I will miss you and Kinetic.
This makes me sad:(

[nwctwx]

The TM legacy is yours JP..

I hope you continue to post, your leadership has been invaluable. Thanks for keeping us alive through all the hard times, it has been an interesting 9 months.

If you ever decide to, you may reclaim your lead position whenever you would like. :)

[Velveeta]

You ladies are a class act.
Thanks for all your hard work.

God Bless.

[Cindy]

We'll miss you JP and Kinetic.
Your talents, energy and perserverance will be sorely missed.

[NanaDory8]

I do hope you will continue to post. I look forward to it.
Thank you and your daughter for all your hard work. If you get a second wind, come back.
God Bless you and keep you in His arms.

[ExSoldier]

I'm REALLY REALLY going to miss you. I will keep you and yours in my prayers.

[KylaStarr]

Thank you, JP, for all of the hard work, sweat and tears you have poured into this thread. Kinetic, thank you for putting so much time into the designing of the thread.

You will be missed.

Friends found from across the country to across the street.

If you look out your front window, do you see a white house on the next block with a red roof and a weather vane/anemometer mounted on the chimney?

And I just found you and this thread 2 weeks ago! It can't end!! Go nwctwx!!

[Myrddin]

You and Kinetic have done a great job on the first leg of an endless relay. Job well done. Hang with us. Your input is appreciated.

[little jeremiah]

Although I haven't been able to scour FR and the TM thread as much lately due to computer malfunction, I will miss your input, hard work, and pithy as well as humorous (sometimes!) comments. I've been on this thread since the beginning, and I am awed at the incredible work you and many others here do.

See you on other threads!

[MamaDearest]

I feel really sad to see you leaving the thread. It seems the last few threads have been indicative of loss of the spirit by which we are supposed to be working together. Taking personal arguments to PM, watching the thread for off-topic subjects and keeping the information pertinent is what you fought for. You persisted and had the weird topics (asteroids, space aliens, guns, weapons, volcanoes, etc.) removed from the topic bar on top of our thread(s). You helped keep us legitimate, and this thread was an integral part of your life (as most of us know how important it quickly becomes to us).

I applaud you for your diligent work in keeping us focused and on track. Kinetic and you worked hard transferring the threads. You posted relevant news threads daily and always watched over us to make sure we were as professional as possible. Thank you for all of that JP. You are truly my cyber-sister. I am happy to have met you here and wish you the best of everything. May nwctwx and TheCabal continue the great work you did for us and not allow trolls, malcontents and those who handily justify their attempts to sabotage other FReepers to denigrate the work that's been done. Most here are great people who post great links or offer fascinating opinion, but some are hellbent on using the thread as a personal chatroom, which it is not.

My granddaughter's second surgery is within the next couple of weeks, and multiple obligations (out-of-area visitors, etc.) have arisen so I will also lurk and hope that the rest of you will be safe and continue to fight terrorism via this thread. God Bless you all and keep up the fight against the Jihadis among us and those joining them through our open borders each and every day.

Thanks for all you have done!

[freeperfromnj]

TM sure won't be the same without you. It's almost our one year anniversary too. You will be sorely missed.

[crabbie]

Monica.......

DID I MISS SOMETHING OR SOME DAYS?

What happened? You are the heart and soul of TM.

I don't know what to say, scrathcing my head, shaking my head in disbelief.

[Lucy Lake]

Thank you JustPiper and Kinetic for the outstanding job you have done, and also, thanks to your son for the pictures on the last thread.

What a talented family! We will miss you.

[all4one]

Thanks to you and Kinetic for all of your hard work, and the time and energy you have invested into TM. Having you at the helm here at TM has been a blessing. I will continue to ping you to TM topics that may be in your area. Enjoy spending your extra time with your new granddaughter!

[ßuddaßudd]

I am sad to see you retire. I will miss your contributions and spirit on this thread. Good people are a treasure and you are a GEM!
