I haven't been reading those kind of threads. I assumed they were a marketing ploy. I figure that when most people give up that they don't announce it to the world; they just give up.

Over the years, I have seen so many threads entitled...

"I am quitting the Warrior Forum!" (Good bye)
"This is the last time you will hear from me!" (what a relief, sometimes!)

I use business cards every day. Give them to every customer or prospect. They really help in every way. But, no need to put something funny or quippy on them. People just like to be able to contact you. It is better than tearing off a piece of a tow sack and looking for a pencil in the truck.
