He was not insinuating anything about Bruce. Just wanted to clear the air, from what I read.
My Two Cents -
I keep taking tanks down to try and simplify my life...three months later...they are ALL BACK UP.

Hey Bruce, I'm new to this forum and I just would like to let you know to not pack it unless money for the hobby is a major issue. Don't feel bad or be afraid to make the decision to cutting back. Sell the tanks you don't want and keep the equipment you plan on using as backup or in the near future. When a hobby consumes too much of our time then it is no longer a hobby. This is consider work and work do sucks.
I would suggest down sizing to the # of tanks manageable for you. This way you can enjoy your fish hobby and have free time to explore other things such as girls.
I started downsizing this year because I decided I rather have one big pimped out tank than many medium size tanks.

Yup, just cut back for some time. Don't bail out completely just yet (if at all).
I just did the same thing. Seemed like after working, taking care of kids, the house, the cars, etc.(normal life stuff), then adding to that, the tanks, I got burnt out.
Though I only had three running, I broke down the 75 and 29, moved/traded some fish, and concentrated on the 125.
This is my way of "cooling off". I still have everything in case I get "unburnt out" again, but it's nice to just sit and relax in front of the tank instead of working on them.
I also have a cat, bird, 4 snakes, and a turtle that require varying amounts of attention every day, so it can get hectic.
Taking down 2 tanks does not seem like much, but it relieves you of more than you realize until you do it.
Do what's best for you, but don't make a "snap" decision and regret it later.
Good luck, and if you do bail out all together on the tanks, that does not mean that you still can't stop by here to visit.
