Bummer ... But what's the point in asking to be deleted then? Why not just stop reading the site? Honest question.

the only way it's ever hurt me is my own personal procrastination. But if it wasn't this site, it'd be some other site, or TV, or a book, or a video game, or cleaning, or "I really need to go get milk right now", or... etc.
Procrastination is my lifelong enemy.

I should really get ready for the battle tomorrow.... But I'll just get up earlier tomorrow morning and get ready then.

This is actually the thing that confuses me the most. I mean with Johnny it makes "some" sense in that he had an excuse about future jobs (that I don't really get, but whatever he had something). But to delete your profile is strange to me. I don't go on plenty of websites anymore, but I don't think I've ever deleted an account.
To me deleting a profile like that when you could let it hibernate forever just as easily seems weirdly hostile. Like ceasing to be here wasn't enough, but that you had to actively destroy any chance of coming back.
I know I'm reading way into this, but I do think it is a valid (admittedly timely) philosophical question. Why would a man destroy a website profile, when he could just as easily ignore it?
(This is not me calling Grahambo hostile or anything like that, just spit-balling some general thoughts about leaving an online-based community that I'm having.)

IE is like a circus with several rings and spotlights which can be entered and performance given almost randomly. The Circus Tent owner, JPham, has to do an amazingly good juggling act himself to nudge the "performances" towards the image of IE that he thinks appropriate. JPham's image of IE is an admirable one in my view, much more cultured and polite than the Wild West shoot'em-up town that most other sites are, and IE once was. Other folks disagree.
IEs more civilized expression does, however, need plenty of "spice" to keep its worth-visiting value high. This is where a certain type of internet character actor is needed. This is why Neutered was such a loss, why dshans is more valuable than people are willing to credit, and why Johnny is in my hopes as someone who will only take a vacation break. We need Bogs; we need Wooly; we need BGIF --- all unique, adult, but non-problematical posters who make the IE stew rich.
The Turning Points and GBs and LAs and StLs and Ironmen and HCTIs et al are vital to our intelligence-gathering outreach. The Whiskeys and Rhodes need to be always there to create perspective and harmonizing wisdom. We need Greyhammer's constant, clever, and no-cheap-shot levity. We need more TT etc. And on and on...... there are several other posters who I like to read a great deal.
Johnny is/was one of several folks who gave healthy life to IE [we also have lively negativists/unconscious trolls and cheapshot artists but they are not, in my view, essential to the Phammervision]. Johnny may be realistic in a surprising way vis a vis closing one door of his personal life by having his "persona" deleted here. I, as a joke, was able to address him one day by his real name --- it was one of those Johnny "conspiracy" jokes, but that might ultimately have worried him that if I could suss his real name from minor data available, maybe others with less affectionate intent could too. Whatever you think of this, perhaps Johnny can return after vacation with a better disguised boardname and findability. I think that he has nothing to fear regardless.

I think you meant GITF. HCTI and intelligence have never been in the same sentence together.

I don't think that is naive. And I cannot speak for your hypothesis in the case of some.
I just know it is not true in any way shape or form, when it comes to JohnnyK. Johnny has become a very busy guy. He for instance has a rapidly growing family, increasing in size again soon. A lot of things are changing rapidly for the better for Johnny and his family.
If I were at that age with all he has going on, I can't imagine having much time for this site.

Kind of a risky proposition your intentional attempt at a humors statement, LOL!

See, I always delete old profiles. When I am reasonably certain I will not be back I just get in there and remove all detail. Some people do that to clean things up. I can see the significance you place on this, and it makes sense, but others just look at things differently.
