yeah guys, we really need you around here.
ames, we know you’re reading. and squeak, i’m going to assume you’re not that cold and that you’re probably sticking around without dropping a post.
first of all, i want to apologize if i had anything to do with this. i apologize to both of you and to the entire coffeeroom.
ames, you don’t know what kind of shock i was in when i read your message last night. basically, i read it twice, then shut my computer and went to sleep. it’s not gonna be any fun without you. and that’s only the beginning of it. never mind the fun, you’ve really given me chizuk. i know i’m an idiot and i argue my head off, but i really do take what you say to heart. you speak like you care (and i have reason to believe that you do!) so please, don’t go. dunno how i have the chutzpa to say this: but for my sake, stay. i’m not asking for mussar (though you can go ahead and shoot me), i’m just asking ot see a post here and there. please?
squeak, i have no words. i know you’re unassuming, but i’ve come to really respect what you say. and that’s a lot, coming from me. don’t go. i honestly look for your approval on every issue that’s posted on here. i know you’re not going to believe me, but it’s true.
i’m tempted to backspace this whole thing because it’s waaaaay too mushy for a guy like me, but i’m going to overcome my temptation… (you see areivim? i do have hope!)
just don’t laugh and don’t use this as blackmail. i’m hoping to see you both around here.
