Thank you all for the happy birthday wishes.. it was a happy birthday actually.

The things that were written here in this thread are correct: I didn't appreciate the lack of position/action of the administrators/moderators of the board regarding those silly and extreme insults that a member did.
Not that I was really angry or anything about it, but it sincerely made me lose interest to spend my time on a board that allows this - it was a matter of principle, you know - although I'm still fond of many of you, mods included (because, apart from that episode that disappointed me, I still see many of them as friends I've a direct relationship with, with whom I swapped emails, had a good time, etc..).

Currently I'm developing some utilities, for selling them as shareware (I need to make a living too, you know). I think I'll be back on the board actively, but I still need a period of pause to get motivated to contribute significatively (something I've never done so far, unfortunately).

Anyway, take care and thank you very much for all the personal messages, and for this thread. It was very much appreciated.

See you some day!
