Redeem your 
Dear Readers,
After over 7 wonderful years of reading and responding to your letters regarding game and chat etiquette, the time has come to bring this column to an end.
In these past 7-plus years, I’ve covered virtually every possible manners issue at least five times over, save a few “one in a millions”, and thus the decision to bring this beloved column to a happy conclusion.
You can always read the Ms. Netiquette Archives if you happen to need a quick fix during tea time. That link takes you all the way back to 2006 when the column went weekly, but then skips ahead to 2010, so to view the years in between, you can start here: Old Pogo News Ms. Netiquette Archives. Unfortunately -and for anyone keeping track – the first few columns before that are gone.
I started in early 2006 with just a few columns addressing a few “hot topic” concerns, and then after we realized that many players had many questions, we turned it into a weekly column in 2006.
To say a proper farewell, I feel it necessary to take a look back, so I’ve handpicked three of my favorite columns to wrap up what has been a really fun part of my job. So, without further ado, here are a few of my favorite columns from the past!
1. Is it Impolite to Use Witchcraft to Win the Game? This one was so far out of left field that this probably stands out to me as my most memorable column. It was certainly the most fun I’ve ever had researching an answer!
2. Hey Nettie, In Case You’ve Forgotten– Politeness is the Norm on Pogo! This column came at a time when I was still fairly new to the job, and had been spending a lot of time reading complaints about players. Most importantly, it served as a pleasant reminder to me to keep in mind that most people on Pogo are already following the rules of etiquette. It’s very easy to get jaded when all you read are complaints. The answer to the second letter in that column caught the eye of my boss at the time, who complimented me on it, so this is one of my more memorable columns, personally.
3. Can Pogo Players Be Too Nice? This may have been the one time where both parties embroiled in an issue wrote in about the same situation. Or possibly it was unrelated, we’ll never know, but the coincidence was amazing regardless, and it was the only time in the thousands upon thousands of letters I’ve received that this sort of thing occurred.
And there you have it! Thank you all for supporting the Ms. Netiquette column over the years. It has truly been one my life’s greatest blessings to have had the honor to do this column, and I wish you all a wonderful, etiquette-filled, “use-the-mute-when-you-have-to” future!
Sincerely,
Ms. Netiquette
As with most on this thread, I did enjoy your column every week. If this is your choice I wish you the best in future endeavors. May God continue to bless you in your life. I also thank you for educating people about players with Aspergers [even though I did not agree with some of it} at least you made people a little more aware. ~~~Happy To Be Aspie;)
Ms. Netiquette
I’m so sorry to see you leave we will miss you a lot and I hope you can come back one day soon.
I do wish you the best in what ever you do. You help alot of players who needed answers on the things
they did not understand and you have my blessing. Love Alway jeangreen

Have a blast with your new project and come back and visit us POGO-ites

over the years pogo sure has changed, I do wish you the very best, but, you will be the biggest missed change pogo could come up with. ( besides how easy it used to be to contact pogo help when we needed it) I can only hope they find another important role for you to fulfill. where ever you may roam in this vast world, you have touched the lives of pogo members every where and you will be greatly missed here in pogoland . thank you for all your hard work and for the LOL’s (chuckles) along the way, may God bless you and keep you safe, thank you for helping to shape pogo into a fun place to live or visit
Goodbye Ms. Netiquette…I pray you succeed in any endeavor you undertake in the future. I’ve always enjoyed your column.

I will miss you completely. Reading your column was always so much fun. I never had write to you because I always read what I needed to know, many times before I even knew I needed to know it. (figure that sentence out..lol) Good Luck in your future endeavors and enjoy that tea you seem to love so much. BTW, I always told my son you were my very own “Dear Abby)
Take care and God Bless.
((((Hugs)))), Dawn
I am really going to miss your column. I have always looked forward to reading it each week. How will I ever get by without my Ms Netiquette. I do wish you all of God’s blessing in what you decide to do in the future.
Your adoring fan, Jamielightfoot
Dear Ms. Netiquette: I am so sorry that we must bid you farewell. Your column is the ONLY one I ever read. I don’t read any of the others. Now I will not anything to read–damn. I have so little to play and read. Well, I do wish you a happy retirement. Goodbye, my dear.
It won’t be the same without you Miss Nettie, your articles were not only of great help, but very interesting, whether I agreed or disagreed, I could always find at least one or even two article that made me laugh and laughter being good for the soul, so were your articles, Reading your articles as I know it probably has many, made me come to feel as if I knew you as a friend, a friend who would always do their best in giving me an answer to a problem the way a friend would. Thanks Miss Nettie, YOU WILL BE MISSED BY US ALL!!
:( That face is the only way I can describe you leaving pogo. I have read every column you have ever written and will miss it very much. I’ve learned a lot from you and I am not sure why its time to leave but I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors.
dear friend you will be missed.As a single senior ,living alone, it was my special time at the begining of the month to suit down with a cup of tea and read your column. your humor and gentile advice kept me from hitting my monitor with my keyboard at thefoolishness of my fellow pogoians. thank you and god bless.
You will be greatly missed. I looked forward to reading your column every week. I wish you all the best in whatever life brings your way. Thanks for all the wonderful advice & tea sessions. God Bless.
Oh, how I will miss your down to earth, common sense & outright humor. You are the best. Thanks for all the wonderful advice and God Bless.
you have done a wonderful job from the very beginning! i can understand that the column has ‘outgrown’ itself but still hate to see Ms. Netiquette go :( i hope that whatever personna you decide to create next is just as wonderful as she was. and if the next personna is yourself, that i wish you the best of luck and many smiles!
I’m still somewhat of a Newbie and will greatly miss your column, with your thoughts, advice, and great wit! Through you (and other Pogo-Pros at the Forum) I’ve learned to navigate this great world of POGO. I’ve written angry comments about JAVA bugs, the inability to contact anyone about issues with credit card billing, and rude players, but I honestly enjoy POGO.
Will it be the same without you? Certainly not.
Best wishes always!
