I guess the point I feel strongly about is that if you need a break, just take it. You don't need to announce it. I wouldn't equate the "I'm leaving" announcements to burning a bridge, but if you just stop posting when you need a break, then you certainly don't need to slink back in as if you failed a goal you had set. PC isn't something you should be embarrassed about coming back to... it has helped pretty much every member here, right?
