Thank you. I am older 68 and semi retired so I have more time to read posts than many others do. But it really takes a lot of time to read them. Plus to decide when and if I should drop a merit or 2 or 3.

Retired, hmm...there are some if not many users we still want to be seeing around here, you're going nowhere.
Not everybody have that time to spare when it has to do with reading, let's be honest with ourselves, reading is like a chore and sometimes boring especially when the writings or post are too many and some of us don't have that time to read all of it. Like myself if the write up or post is too long I let it be but some of those long post do have vital information that we some how avoid just because the post is too long and you can't merit a post you find it hard to read, how can we start going back to merit such post?

For goodness sake this platform can only be accessed using electronic and mobile devices, so, why think someone can not retire from here when it feels hectic at times in reading through the screen of otie device which sometimes could cause sight issues and I am sure older people find it hard glancing on the electronic light at times and sure that some older peoples immune system may not withstand the arguments with the logical and technical discussion being practiced here. So I think there is always a time for one to retire here.
But I am sure that there are who might have grown older and fit to stay here for a while even at retirement age may stay awhile. But for health wise, everyone is entitled to decide when to retire at any form of their engagement.
For lengthy post, there are still those who enjoys long time trading of a particular content.

Bro you're going too far, I'm not saying that he's never going to retire, no...I can't force him to stay for ever but the thing is some of these old members, hold on...some of these legends we have in this Forum have given so much to the Forum to make it the way it is today to the extend that when they're no longer using this Forum as in coming online, it becomes some how, like it becomes boring without them and you know that feeling when you're too close to someone and all of a sudden the person stops coming it will make you feel dull because with that person things around you is filled with joy and all that... and this very legend here @philipma1957 is one of a kind, he has his own ways of making things right in this Forum, there are many others who ar special in their own way...for me I don't wish for him to retire no matter the age😁.
