Hey guys, I just wanted to apologize for yesterday. I thought long and hard over my decision to leave the site and I've come to the conclusion that I want to reconsider—seeing how many of you would be demoralized if I left.
If anything for that matter, I was just testing to see if you guys would miss me or not. It seems like an out-of-character act, but it's true. I've been troubled with my thoughts as of late and I guess I gave into my intrusive thoughts to act as if I wanted a little attention on this site. I've always had the predisposition that the love for me on this site was an ingenuine thing—or out of fear for me being a moderator—but really, all of your support is real and it just comforts me knowing that.
I'm a much better person now in 2021 than I was when I last tried to leave the site multiple times in 2017-2018. During my brief respite, I remembered how back then I would always write public announcements saying that I would go away forever. I didn't want to act like that ever again—so in this year's letter I just wanted to seem more reasonable about my departure. But even in doing so, it seems that I just can't detach myself from the site.
If you are reading until the end, thank you all for being so supportive. This was an April Fools joke. I hope you all have a nice day. Happy sequencing.
