Snipe added a certain color to PARF. I hope he comes back. He's a smart guy. I am sorry to see him go.

He certainly did.

Also started the funniest thread ever (unintentionally) involving someone he was trying to get off with over the internet.

The only beef I've had with sniper was his repeated violation of the forum rules and guidelines. He simply doesn't know when to stop, and what not to say. I guess he has spent too many two-week vacations on ban island, and has sought another place to voice his opinion.

For the record, snipe has left on his own terms --at this point, he has not been banned from these boards.

As you guys know -- we put up with a lot of crap here -- we let a lot of things go -- if snipe isn't happy with the way things are run here, and the rules we all need to live by, then it is his choice to move on.

My only advise to snipe is to not burn any bridges and not go out in a ball of fire. Keep it civil, and it benefits everyone.

So long snipe -- hopefully someday you'll come back this way sometime and post of your adventures out in the world wide web.

Z-man thanks for your work.

Snipe is an interesting guy. Pelican will be different without him.

Yes, Pelican will probably be a better place without him......

Why do you guys continue to give him your man love? He had a lot of class.... all low..

don't let the door hit you on your way out... or actually... I hope the door hits...

He made racist comments and that's going too far.

Z Man was right to give him a time out. The rest is up to Bill.

Snipe has been nothing but a thoroughly decent and helpful guy to me. I didn't know he has left He was lots of fun and I enjoyed, and valued, his comments.

Count me among those who'll miss him...his antics amused, and I get the feeling he never took himself too seriously..
