I wanted to go over here before the end and let all of my good friends know how much I was going to miss them and all of their well thought-out opinions! 

Gosh darn it.

Oh, well.

Thank you for the OP Forum, Mr. Reynolds. It was great. I had a blast with it. I never thought I would be the type to pay much attention to the goings-on of an HOA, but you kept it interesting  and engaging.

I hope to see your continued analysis and musings in op-ed sections and letters to the editor of some of the local publications, from time to time.

Good work.
