Change in the governance

[Glenn Davis]

Julien - Thank you for your time and dedication you gave freely to me
as a user. I am extremely happy with the work you have done. I wish
you the best and I hope you find peace wherever you travel.

All - I'm disgusted with what I have seen here over the last few
months. This list has shown that many people here are incomprehensibly
rude and have an utter lack of respect. Top vs. Bottom posting anyone?

Signing off for good,
-Glenn
