::Thanks for your support. Chairboy's writeup talks about scaled-back contributions and "lurking" (reading without contributing) and that's kind of what I'm doing now. My wife told me I was "addicted" to this thing, and it's true. That's one reason I asked an admin to block my account, to help me break this "addiction". But it's not easy. As the writeup suggests (although never coming out and labeling it "addiction"), it's a weaning-away process. I'm continuing to watch my bloated watch-list (especially for newsworthy stuff like the NBA and NHL brackets, which are faster to get to here than on other sites) and with the intent of only updating articles that I care most about and which have had vandalism uncorrected for some time. Fortunately, very little of that has happened so far, and already I'm spending far less time on this site than I had been. :) [[User:Wahkeenah|Wahkeenah]] 04:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC) |
To whom it may concern: I have abandoned wikipedia. My account has been blocked at my own request. Wahkeenah 21:16, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Drama is silly. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 21:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That essay pretty well has all the angles covered. The following fits to a fair degree, although not totally: "Most departure notes are sincere at the time they are written. The former contributor genuinely intends to discontinue active participation. But leaving is a process, not a single event. The signs of a previously committed contributor uncommitting themselves to the goals of a community are usually clear. The departure note is a step on the road, and oftentimes will be followed by scaled-back contributions and lurking." Wahkeenah 05:10, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
