    Evening all....must say that the duplicate "Goodbye" is a little weird. Still, don't they say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery?

    It does seem a bit lacking in imagination though....

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Yeah I guess.

    Seems a bit off though, Keren poured her honest feelings onto the page, seems a bit off to steal them and pass them off as your own. IMO.

    It's probably not like that at all - IMHO.

    The root cause is depression - let's not shy away from that. Depression affects relationships - which they both stated. It also makes people more affected by the unkindness of others - I don't think I need to spell T-R-O-L-L do I?

    It also affects self-worth, both of them stated they felt they were no good at the "job" of DFW. Part of that rationale is they had nothing extra to give over other people, and would just be repeating the words of others. "Parrot" is not an unusual term for this.

    There was also a desire to change. With DFW there is comfort, which stretches for longer and longer periods of the day. With change, sometime you have to go cold turkey.

    Cold turkey from the comfort. Cold turkey from DFW. And cold turkey from the people on here.

    That's my honest opinion anyway.

    A TV psychiatrist that has just been up in front of the Geenral Medical Council for copying huge swathes of someone elses book into his own and not atributing it.

    You'll possibly know him when you see him:

    Edit - yep seen a couple of things that look interesting. If I don't get this one I guess this weekend will be spent filling in more forms!

    Excited about the move? :D
