With this, my 1000th post (I guess that makes me an FX-Men Honorary Member, but I think I was already on reputation points a long time ago - before the system went dormant), I announce my departure from BabyPips. It might not be a permanent one, but it will definitely be for a good while.
Back in the day I was working on behalf of the site management to help answer new trader questions. At that time there were almost no experienced folks active in the forum, so it was just a bunch of newbies asking questions that few could answer. That situation has definitely changed. Now there are a lot more folks capable of providing answers - or at least pointing the newbies to the school.
These days I find myself increasingly less involved in the discussions. That’s partly a function of the experienced folks being able to answer questions, partly a function of less time to hang out here, and partly a lack of interest in many of the discussions which have been developing recently.
I’ve tried, since my arrival here, to keep my own personal involvement in the forum as strictly educational as possible. Hopefully, that proved beneficial to at least some members.
I will continue to post educational comments, information, and Q&A responses to the blog on my book site, through which you can contact me if you wish. You can also PM me questions if you want (I’ll get the notification email), though the response my take some time.
John We are gonna miss you and I bid you farewell. I have found your posts to be extremly valuable and informative and Im glad youll pop your head in once and a while and say hi. Take care always.
You are probably gone now, and, therefore, will not read this or any following posts.
[B]I want to thank you personally for your great contribution to this forum.[/B]
It is sad to see you go, but I am sure you are going on to bigger and better things.
You have helped me immensely, both directly by answering some of my posts and indirectly, by posting answers to various questions and then I subsequently read your answers and learn from them.
Your contributions have always been of the highest integrity and of the highest quality.
You have sought to maintain accuracy in information on this forum, therefore keeping us from error.
You have been a most welcome contributor on this forum.
Thank you again, and I wish you all the best in wherever you go or whatever you persue!!
I read many, many posts on here before I even signed up, and they kept me from getting my account burnt or blown in those early days. You were one of the few people that I actively looked for, because I knew that anyone who’d been in the game as long as you have would have a lot of wisdom.
And I was right, and you kindly shared that with everyone here.
Cheers for everything and don’t totally disappear, right?!
John; It is people like you and many others here on this forum, . That make the world a wonderful place to be… Willing to give others your knowledge to better themselves. I hope that at sometime I can follow your example…
I am sure ,what ever your endeavours you will be a great success with them also… Take Care and Have a Great Life… Ken
