I want to echo tugon's sentiments wholeheartedly. Paolo the fact that there are two threads devoted to our thoughts and thanks to you, says it all.

I have added some words to the thread started by Blaise but wanted to wish you and the Boys best wishes again here.

I had briefly (for 5 minutes or so) added additional general EA comment here but I realise this thread is for our congratulations to you. Many thanks Paolo.

I'll miss you, until you drop by again.

All i can really say is thanks for being a BIG part of the archive for a long time...i know i have made many friends here...i know i have never really had the chance to get to know you but i wish you all the best in what ever the future brings you.

I was so so sorry to hear that Paolo is to leave our Community- it really will not be the same without you and I have enjoyed your massive contributions over so many years and will miss you so much. Let me wish you all the very best especially from this side of the pond.

Cheers

I'd like to add my own public thanks to those expressed above in respect of Paolo.

In particular, I'd like to thank Paolo for all the help & patience he has afforded me since I began to contribute stories to this site.

I too am sorry to see him departing from an active role here but fully understand his reasons.

I sincerely wish him & his the best for the future!

Paolo, I and everyone here at the Archive will deeply miss you. When I first began posting, you were the first to reply to me and to contact me. I have not forgotten that and I appreciate the advice you have given me. I know you have done a lot for this site and everyone appreciates you very much. Best wishes in all that you do and don't forget to have fun.

I was looking forward in meeting you at the Central States Eunuch meeting next month. Would hope you would reconsider and join your many friends at the meeting.

Hope your leave will be just a short one. We need you here with your wisdom and foresight.

Boy,

I miss Paolo's comments and wry sense of humor. I understand, though. Sometimes one has to have respite from the repetition. Each ending is a new beginning.

May this one be one that leads to a better world for Paolo. God knows, he deserves it...
