I am not wanting people to leave either. It is just a sad attempt at getting pity out of others, and a bit of cash in the process, that they are after. The ones that truly intend to leave do so and don't say anything. They cash their accounts out, power down and leave without saying much.
It seemed like for a day or two that the "new" page was nothing but "I am leaving" articles. Boo hoo. Take care, the rest of us will continue pushing forward.
