Well, I think I hold the record for leaving Wikipedia more times than anyone else. My longest time was 6 weeks.
When Wikipedia was smaller, and what I did or didn't do actually seemed to have some effect *bowing modestly* I hardly dared announce my departure, because vandalism always rocketed up immediately (!).
Or I'd get several messages imploring me to come back. Grin: the last time I quit, only Bcorr even noticed...
But I always think of solutions, because I'm a software engineer: solving problems is my job.

Not necessarily :-) But after you get to know people, you realise how they react. Some resist to the latest end, and when they quit they are serious. Others need some frequent wikibreak to stay healthy. After a while, people realise this and just quietly wait, trusting you will be back soon :-)
