    Thanks Joni

    You aren't being paid, and if you aren't enjoying it there probably isn't much point. So you are probably doing the right thing.

    Thanks for your efforts on our collective behalf.

    Cheers! See you sometime and buy you a beer! or wine! (mmm beer and wine........ drool!!)

    Damn straight, it's not full, always room for more.

    Besides, if we could have it we wouldn't be ogling, we'd be... doing other things that temporarily escape my memory.

    Joni,

    I reakon you'll be so much happier for it. KB can become too consuming at the best of times.
    All I can say, Is it's the best move I ever made.
    Visiting everyday for an hour or so, was crazy.
    The occassional visit will give you so much more time back in your life, to do real things! and you'll enjoy your occassional visits all that much more. Besides summers coming - Wouldn't you rather be doing something outdoors?

    Jo. What can I say. I know how much working on KB has meant to you and how much you've put into it. It's a thankless job for the most part and a thin line to attempt to walk, never pleasing all of the people all of the time.

    I really hope with your change of role, you can regain some of the enjoyment you got from KB back in the day, and it's no longer a "job" that becomes a drag.

    Totally support your descision and it's one I'm sure you thought VERY long and hard over. At least you'll be able to get some sleep now it's made

    Heaps of luvs at ya.

    Those who have congratulated Joni whoever he/she/it was, don't you think you are being a bunch of syphophants. After all he/she/it was there in the capacity just like a "List MP" I've got nothing against Joni she communicated with me a couple of times even. I have more against grovelling.

    If someone does a crap job, you fire them, and if they do a good job, you commend them.

    Are you always a curmudgeonly grouch, or is it just an internet thing?

    I don' think its groveling going on, just people wishing someone well.
    Not a bad random human act that some people practice on a regular basis.

    I might come across that way but I aint, but I don't write leters to the editor either . This is a different world for me, it's KB'r it's entertainment for some of us.
