Malcolm...
I don't want to be one who tries to talk you out of doing something that you are intent on doing. I am going to say that I have felt like this over things that were said here as well. It can be hard to learn to ignore and avoid the ones that we know are going to cause problems for us. I understand why you want to leave.
Until your 2000th post, may I suggest that you try to put all of your replies to everything that you want to reply to in one post. That way you won't reach 2000 as quickly and we will have you around longer. Probably a stupid suggestion, but I couldn't resist.
