Gonna be a lot quieter and less interesting around here without your presence. I respect your decision though I will miss your voice greatly. May many more bowls of delicious ramen and other good eats come your way. And I’ll gladly listen anytime if you choose to tell us about them.

@bear

Oh, passing_thru, your posts always make my day a little brighter, and make me a little hungrier. You’ve also been instrumental in making this a friendly, welcoming community. I’d love to see you reconsider, but whatever you decide, know that you have some friends on this board that truly value your contributions and appreciate your generous sharing of local deliciousness.

They said it so much better than I could! You will always be welcome and I hope there is much deliciousness in your future, whether you tell us about it or not.

I have had a couple of unpleasant exchanges on this board

Me too. I decided to stop posting, never to return. Three months later, I changed my mind.

No, don’t go, @passing_thru! I’ve always enjoyed reading your take on the local restaurants, even the ones that are far from my neighborhood and I’ll probably never visit. Not sure what was said on the last thread (what remained sounds like a perfectly reasonably proposition), but I do understand that sometime you just have to stay away from the negativity for your own sake. Perhaps you’ll reconsider and come back around at some point?

[fooddabbler]

Please reconsider. As others have observed there were times when you singlehandedly carried this board. Your posts have always been terrific.

It is a discussion board, not an honorific board

Came late to this and don’t fully understand what transpired, but I too appreciate passing_thru’s comments. Don’t go.

[grumpyspatient]

Me too! Passing Thru I hope you will reconsider.
