This was Sheik's original "unpublished" retirement speech as restored from the terb cache server:
"The time has cum, for someone who has had much to write about here there and everywhere to fade away.
To the gay men I've shared special moments with, Thank you for the fun times, the private moments, the intimacy and most of all the joy that you've brought to the back doors.
To the gents on the board, it was great getting to know a great number of you on a personal level. Keep sane, keep the humour and most of all keep treating the ladies with respect.
To my "enemies", t'was fun screwing you and even funnier when it became obvious what your problems were, like I really gave a crap. I only have one piece of advice for you all. Lighten up and stop taking things so seriously.
I bid you all adieu, but not goodbye, but not goodbye, but not goodbye,but not goodbye, but not goodbye, but not goodbye, but not goodbye, but not goodbye, but not goodbye, but not goodbye, but not goodbye, but not goodbye, but not goodbye, but not goodbye, . My presence on the boards will be significantly less significantly less significantly less significantly less that it has been in the past.
I will be disabling my pm box soon. Many of you have my email addy so if you wish to get in touch, email me.
Enjoy the hobby but most of all remember its a fantasy world.
