So it seems that after pondering his role on Perlmonks, mt2k has decided to leave with a bang. So be it. PodMaster thinks we should delete this node. I say keep it, if this is to be his swansong, a node more or less doesn't make much change in the grand scheme of things.

There is the question of his nodes. In case you haven't looked, he has taken any node that is not frozen after being submitted (such as a SoPW), and deleted the title and contents. Some people are wondering whether these should be restored. I say let them go. There is blakem's off-site search engine-friendly archive of the site. The nodes are probably stored there (I haven't actually checked to see whether this is the case or not).

Online community historians may draw a parallel with Blair Newman, a long-time denizen of The Well, who deleted all his posts and then killed himself (one, two). I trust mt2k will not do anything so foolish, after all, he did leave a forwarding address.

Where ever you go, maleteen2000, have fun.

<update>Interesting... I didn't realise this was the second time that mt2k has said Goodbye!...</update>
