    What's all this then? This thread is getting rather silly.

    That's what they all say. Hope he does though.

    You're a little unhinged, but I believe he'll be back.

    It was a little hissy fit, a bit of attention seeking / pouting combo, but as the team improves he won't be able to stay away.

    You don't get to the point of posting on this forum unless you're beyond the point of return already.

    He already has been. I read the goodbye post then there was a second post (from memory) explaining the reasoning for the first. What we now need is a third post denying the existence of the first post or attributing its content to another. Regardless, all is forgiven. All I can think is that he believed he was supporting a successful team and had accidently missed the results for a decade.

    It's not like he created a thread to announce his exit then came on the next day to check for replies and post again...

    Perhaps we ask that he rename it the John Farnham thread.

    Truthfully, I'm very keen for that third post. It just makes sense from a hanging shite point of view.

    Weird. I used to be in the top 5 posters, then took a break for about 5 years, only recently started checking 'land again to see some excitement as I saw the demons finally returning to relevance this year. I didn't get on to make a post about leaving.

    You need to make a lengthy post about returning Double Dee then renounce Demonland if we lose against the Aints.

    Come on Dan...you can do better than that. You should be saying I'v been gone 5 years and unless the Demons make the 8 you will hold your breath until you pass out.

    Would be a shame to jump off now that we're on the way up after the putting up with the [censored] of the last 10 years (or 50 depending on your vintage) ;)

    I believe Ascobar is working on environmental rehab work deep in Ethiopia so would be well out of range of these posts. But I could be wrong, it has been known to happen.
