Not really but we can pretend Anna
I left becasue I needed a break in the time I was gone my wife gave birth to our 2nd child and my over all on-line activity was almost non existant I knew that it would be coming so I bowed out for a bit, its not like I have not taken a leave before remember I was gone while I was in the army and I have left other times as well I have never had to make an "emergency exit" as you put it I have never left a board because of some one else (thats what the ignore feature is for
)
