Baxter, thank you for your help on SI. I can think of many newly arrived waywards who were set straight in their priorities after a gentle nudge from you. You have a very real gift for this.
I do hope you don't disappear, but I can understand why stepping down may make sense for you.
Be well.

Baxter...
I didn't even see this and here I am yaking it up with you in the Guide forum tonight 
Thank you so very much for everything you've given to us, the site and all the members. You are such a gentle and wise soul. I know your words have reached many and have helped pave their way towards their own healing.
I hope you know how much MH and I truly appreciate you!! We also respect and understand your decision to take a break. Always know that SI is your home away from home. Please thank your lovely wife for all her patience while you took your Guide role to heart
Thank you again!

BaxterBFF, I've appreciated reading your thoughtful and educational threads and helping me understand such a thing as a one-sided EA. All the best to you and GerryGirl.

Thanks everyone.
This definately has been a home away from home for me, especially with the travling schedule and all.
I'd miss it too much if I went cold turkey. Too many wonderful people here to just up and leave.

Thank you for giving so much to SI's community, BaxtersBFF. You gave everyone here a gift by Guiding us when we needed support, especially in the Wayward Forum. Thank you!!!

One thing I've noticed about your posts since I have joined this site is continued growth, Baxter's. Growth to the point where you were/are also able to help guide others in so many ways. That's been valuable to witness, and I can imagine how helpful that growth has been to yourself, your wife, and your kids. I'll miss seeing you as a guide, but I am glad you are sticking around.
Oh yeah, and thanks for helping stick up for the awesome band Rush in one of the F&G music forums several months back. You'll always have a close place in my heart for that alone!
Cheers, dude.
