nah, it is because the way people have been posting ie like in your bolded part.That’s why I’m surprised by the spike in pages. Last time I saw this, it only had 10 pages and people wishing him the best.
He’s not here anymore so I thought that’s that.

As you said wish him well and thank him for his servitude don't bother with the digs.
