Jamie, the biggest loss to this forum is that YOU – as well as your wife – is no longer active, even if I have a good understanding for your reasons not to.

You are missed here.

Truer words have rarely been spoken.

Although I either missed or wasn't privy to the events that led to your decision, I respect it.
Hopefully Hamish has a hangar ready for the little blue blimp.

Things do change and people as well. There are many who don't participate as often as before. While I pop in to check the forum often, I really don't post as much as I once did.

I, for one, do remember the original tale of the Saltire and her intrepid crew, as well at the villains they faced. It inspired me to tales of my own.

Fear not Captain Panache; should you ever need assistance, Mr. Dove and the Retrieval Team will be there.

(Hmmm, I need a saluting smiley here.)

Well said Davedove. I'll miss seeing the ongoing travels of the Saltire, but it's fitting for her to have a rest after such a long journey.

I don't understand this referance. I get the feeling that there has been turmoil at xmarksthescot in the past. I know the story of this quote but I don't see the application.
