Rob has left FECC for good....please return !!!

Doc, I totally agree. I liked Rob as much as anyone, and appreciated his knowledge and humor. But get a grip, folks. This is an Elvis Presley message board. Some of you are acting as if a family member passed away. He left without saying a word, then posted his farewell message on another board, and "hoped" it would be posted here. And if that departure is challenged in any way, shape or form, it's based on jealousy? Boloney.

Rob is more than welcome to do whatever he wishes, but his actions reek a bit of ego, in my opinion......

Agreed.

The message board didn't fall on its knees the last time he left and said that was it. It will carry on this time. No one member makes a forum - it isn't something to lose sleep over. There will always be a turnover, naturally, on any forum.

It's a shame he decided to leave without saying anything on here and chose to make an announcement elsewhere, but whatever. Not what I would do but his call.

Bingo.

By "where were you," of course I mean regarding the original FECC topic which included his "bye bye" comments, and whose link is clearly included in my post.

There are a great number of wonderful people who visit this place, and I treasure them all. But it is a fact that for all of Rob's "soulfulness," when he decided to split, he told no one, and deleted his account.

Coming from someone whose words we appreciated for years and years, that seemed extremely contrary to his oft-stated views on how to treat this forum, and more than a little like saying "f-you" to this place.

You are welcome to present a different take on his exodus.

Perhaps he'd had enough of one of its members.

Oh, not to worry. He learned to tolerate you, as we all have.

He was the soul of this forum.

Was he. Rob who ?

This has taken on a life of its own.

In my view, Robbo pushed the destroy button here, he already had a membership at Two Much Monkey Business, that he didn't use anymore, knowing that some people here post there, it was just as easy to post on that forum, knowing what he wrote would be seen.

Call me Doctor Watsona!

LOL

I only wish he had given away a few CDs as parting gifts. Cheap bastard!

I rarely post on FECC anymore, but I used to post daily for many years. I loved to discuss new releases with Rob, Doc, Cisco and all the others. Some say, well, it's only a messageboard, it doesn't mean anything in the real world. But I think it does. This IS the real world. Some of us have spent lots and lots of time here, and it's been a fun ride for sure. Why would it mean less than, say, having discussions with collegues at work? I'm sure that when I die about 40 years from now I will no doubt remember Rob and his ELVIS logo, just like I remember many childhood friends I haven't seen in a long, long time.

I think Rob deleted his account simply because he wanted to leave, wanted to spend his time on other things, but knew he wouldn't be able to resist the urge to keep a-postin' if his account was still active. This was problably the only solution. Personally I like the idea that the things you post on FECC will stay here for years and years, and be read by yourself and others every once in a while. It would be a sorry state of affairs if I got nostalgic and wanted to re-read the posts we all made about let's say "Fly T-R-O-U-B-L-E!", only to find out that some members had deleted all their posts...

So what happens when you push that button? Do you get a chance to change your mind, is there an "Are you sure you want to delete your account?" message comes up, or is it "Boooooom!" and everything disappears? Seems a bit final to me, what happens if you hit it by mistake?

No, it isn't.

And it shows how deliberate one must be to do it.

I can see how you feel betrayed, John.

What a weak effort ....

Indeed!
Far from his best.

Oh well, that's life. Adios Rob. Catch you on the flip side.
