I think that although initally we will suffer from the loss of the steady hand that you have guiding us with for quite some time now. This will be a good thing for all sides. I know that you have been involved with this thing since the inception ( like when we got the 5 1/2 inch 386BSD 0.1 floppies snail mailed to us :-) I think I still have a few of those around ) and it has certianly been a hard road to walk. However, I think that all groups need a head. Mabey not with the control/responsibilities that the title "president" implies .. but somone has to make decisions. I think that the core should consider creating _some_ position for "the buck stops here" type of questions. To " the member wannabe " I say thanks for the time you have given us and I hope to see you remain involved with the core team for some time to come... on the other hand your cats, and probably some woman you have not met yet, wouldn't mind seeing you have a life again. But wherever your consience takes you. Know that your accomplishments, along with the rest of the core team, have effected many lives and given us somthing with which lots of us have built careers out of and is a part of our lives. So thank you. -branson ============================================================================= Branson Matheson | Ferguson Enterprises | If you're falling off a System Administrator | W: (804) 874-7795 | mountian, you might as well Unix, Perl, WWW | branson@ferginc.com | attempt to fly. -Delenn
