My personal thanks for your work and consideration. I have always found you to be a fair and kind gentleman upon whom the rest of the rabble could count for wise counsel and good leadership.

We shall miss your presence as a mod, but I trust that you will always be around to comment, cajole, entertain, and impress.

I'm not sure that less moderation is the best of ideas since the mods have done an excellent job in keeping the peace and sheltering us from the visicitudes of the barbarians, but we shall see.

God speed.
