<p>Good-bye, everyone, and thanks for a very informative year of discussing college admissions. I realized with chagrin that I have reached the “senior member” threshold in my post count, so I think I definitely need to take a break from posting here, which means I need to take a break from READING here which means I had better say good-bye. I had originally meant to stop reading actively at about this time of the year, having followed the online discussions for about a year and learning that I can’t read the stats on the “What are my chances?” threads and predict results any better than I could with tea leaves. </p>
<p>Best wishes to all the new class of '09 students in the many fine colleges where CC young people will start attending in the fall. Special best wishes to the current juniors who will be going through the application process next school year. And thanks to all the parents for sharing encouragement, frustration, questions, thoughtful answers, tendentious answers (those are some of my favorites ), and humorous remarks that brightened my online time this past year. A most special thank-you to you-know-who for introducing me to this most addicting and usually informative Web site. </p>
<p>We’ll miss you Tokenadult. I certainly will miss your posts. Hopefully, you will lurk occaisionally and chime in when the occaision warrents. Take care.

<p>tokenadult–oh no, the “other” math expert is leaving! What if I have a math question? What will I do? I hope you’ll check back in at some point in the next year or so. I’ll be hanging out for awhile, though if I can start hanging out just a bit less, that would be a good thing. D is a junior next year, deja vu all over again . . .</p>
<p>people who have particularly valued Tokenadult’s math input should check out the math forums at <a href=“http://www.artofproblemsolving.com%5B/url%5D”>www.artofproblemsolving.com</a></p>
<p>Where’s everybody going, tokenadult? Have y’all found another “cooler” place to be? LOL. I hope it serves you well. I’ve appreciated your company.</p>
<p>As more and more of our friendliest and finest posters leave or at least seriously curtail their posting, and the board’s makeup changes with the loss of each of them to a less polite and less humorous bunch, I am beginning to feel like the drunkest fella at good party that is slowly breaking up. I’m exhorting everyone to stay with me. And drink for just a little while longer . Just a few more minutes. I’m not ready to go home just yet.</p>
