I was mentioned in your thanks? Well, I certainly feel like I've missed something...
Anywho, I have two separate messages for you, depending on who you are. Please don't take offense by my posting both:
a) If you aren't Codek/Mawk/whoever, then I apologize on behalf of everyone who ever accused you for being him, including myself... sort of. (I went back and deleted part of a PM which implied you had some very similar characteristics. Anyway, while you had some ideas and such that I didn't agree with, some intelligence did show through--and a bit of witty humor too at times. For posts showing those traits, you will be missed.
I still think perhaps you take the forums a bit too seriously, and because of that, get a bit defensive too often at harmless comments.
b) If you are codek/mawk/whoever, then well, just tell us. What harm could it do? You are leaving afterall. I bet most members wouldn't get angry over it. I can see why after being banned, you would want to come back... perhaps after regretting past mistakes. (That would also explain why you've seemed to be wanting more special recognition since you'd technically wouldn't be a new member.) Anyway, people can change, and I believe in giving second chances. But since you are leaving, I suppose you're not interested in a second chance.
Of course, you could be Codek, and just trying to see how long you could fool everyone and what kind of drama you could create. In that case, I say you should look into getting a "real" life.
Whoever you are, farewell and stuff--unless it's person b. If you're codek or whoever, there's no point in saying bye then, is there? I'll just be seeing you around on another account someday.
