User blog comment:The Director of PSA/I'm quitting/@comment-4446753-20130117133426/@comment-4726672-20130117141733

Well, I understand your point, but I personally think it would be fine to make a blog to announce departure as long as the blog does not mention any other user causing him or her to make a decision to quit. Also, you say that users make quitting blogs purely for edits. Well, that would be strange as that user would be leaving anyway, how would edits matter to him or her? Also, I believe more edits are needed to send messages to every friend on the wiki instead of making a single blog :P
