Well done, Walden. We shall miss you. But you have to shift your focus from time to time. More power to your elbow!
I predict a rise in Waldco Industries stock…
You do what’s best for you. That’s the top priority. But, just know you are a highly valued contributor and friend. You’re a bit of a institution around here.
Stay in touch.
Never thoguht i’d see the day…
Take care.
::moment of silence for reasonableness::
Dale has taken the thoughts/words out of my mouth/head here. I will really miss your quick wit, reasonble perspective and well-grounded intelligence. But please, do check in from time to time to keep us posted on yourself and your progress in life and in school. All the best sir!
Walden is the Chiffmaster General, will there be another appointee in his absence?
Does this make cranberry the ‘Postmaster’ General?
Oh Woe is us. Probably a good idea though to concentrate on the studies.
You don’t seem to be among the top students. You are among the top students in your bio class. Accept it, dude! And congratulations. Keep up the good work and take care of that lichen collection. Perhaps we’ll see a bit more of you during vacations.
Congrats on the good scores, there Walden. I know that takes a lot of hard work and natural smarts to boot. Kudos to you!
Kind of funny in one way though. Here I thought Walden was at leat 50 with the Charleton Heston-like on horseback avatar and all, not to mention the intelligence and sophistication of the content and now it turns out he’s a student?! It reminds me of that scene in Monsters Inc. where those 2 dweebs are walking through the factory and one says somthing like ‘…and then i told her i’m not going to take it any more!’ The other dweeb replied ‘and what did she say?’ to which the first answered ‘you know my mom, she sent me to my room.’
Do whatchu gotta do! We’ll certainly miss your wit and wisdom, but hopefully not too much!! You need to show up at least once in a while to keep us on our toes… and good behavior. 
Youdastu’n’t!!
While I’ll miss your posts, I think that this reasonable decision of yours is very likely the best thing for you while you are at your studies. Just typical of your down to earth way of thinking that makes you valuable around here and makes your absence a loss for the rest of us.
Well, darn it all to heck, reality rears its ugly head and gets in the way of our fun. I can always count on you for fun and/or thought provoking posts, and you’ll be missed.

Geez…I never did anything to you, Walden. Guess I pissed you off nonetheless. Sorry.
I have taken the board out of my bookmarks several times over the years. I have even spent months at a time not checking or reading it. I think it’s a healthy thing to do sometimes to clear your head and adjust your priorities.
Amen! 
I wasn’t singling you out… just making reference to Weekenders’ statement. You certainly never have been anything but nice to me.
Congrats on your grades Walden, keep it up, and do check in here again!
Well, I kinda started back posting more with the infection and all, but I’m pretty much back at least through the Thanksgiving holiday, though I haven’t actually added C&F back to my bookmarks.
