What are people hearing on this? If he only has 31 posts left, how should he spend them? If his illustrious boarding career is done, how will we remember him and where does he rank in the pantheon of all-time boardies? Discuss.

Is it really befitting a boardie of his stature to hang around just to rack up end-of-career garbage stats a la Kobe Bryant? Wouldn't it be better for him to go out on top?

You're still relatively close to your boarding prime so different situation.

He should go out on top like Cosby did in the 90s.

Sounds like Cosby was on top (or perhaps behind) in most decades...

GGW is killing it today. Grateful set anyone who wanted it up with that glorious boarding assist but respect is due for GGW to get there first.

GGW is pronounced "G, G, W," correct? Grateful was the first word of a sentence. Both should be capitalized.

The AP Style guide makes clear names of entities are to capitalized in both situations regardless of that entities chosen stylistic choices.

Do you feel like you will have accomplished everything you set out to accomplish if you do? Or would you always regret your shortcomings?

So you've quoted the Style guide, and I can totally understand that approach, but it seems like relying too heavily on that source can be confusing for some people.  Is there a way that we can agree to respect each user's choice?

Yes, absolutely. I am always an advocate of acceptance despite my personal fastidiousness, and you asked so politely. Cheers.
