Now, I'm going to enjoy my time on GMG.

You seem to be two days late for Groundhog Day.

This seems appropriate enough:

I note that one of your early posts has been to say "long time no see" to someone, most likely based on recognising their user name.

This is a perfect illustration of why it's helpful to not chop and change yours so often. You know who they are. Do THEY know who YOU are?

Assuming I know who you are...

Maybe let's just rename this thread the John Show. The new username as a transparent attempt at anonymity is just one of the recurring tropes.

It's not about anonymity, it is about the tiny endorphin rush of seeing us jump through the hoop of guessing it's him again.

If you are indeed "done with me", then I advise you to ignore my posts and stop talking about me.

Show a little maturity Karl.

To @Madiel, don't worry I'm not going to change my username again. I promise this time! ;D And to the point you made, you're right, I need to stop deleting my account.

I have a feeling this time around will be much better as I have slowly been finding a lot of peace within myself and have finally been able to let go of some things that were weighing down my mind.

Another point of serenity has been my newfound love for the music of Schubert. I mean this has been a major breakthrough that I never thought would've happened. I certainly wouldn't have been saying this 15 years ago.

@Karl Henning  Let it go.  A lot of us care about you here.  Life is too short.  Ignore those who don't care or are struggling with health issues.

Best wishes,
