Thinks retiring is going to be used for Iggy, Kipper, and ultimately Fleury. It actually isn't the worst idea when you frame it like that, and I've hated the whole concept. But my mind has been changed.
I can kind of see that, but in that context, what other organizations do this?

Just send a Thank You card and be done with it.

The way you (or Pinder moreso, as you paraphrased him) put it seems even more lame IMO.
