Hi..

First of all, a Big Thanks to Daniel Holbach and Cesare Tirabassi about their 
great work with me. I would like also to thank people who added comments to my 
report, that will help me to think more about my impatience (It's really a bug i 
need to patch myself). You too ScottK, Hobbsee and \sh.

I think I've tried to do my best for Hardy, even with my mistakes and It's time 
to do a time-break and re-think about all of these things.
I don't know if I'll come back one day (maybe it's the best for Ubuntu), for now 
I'll just try to be more cooperative in Ubuntu BugSquad and Portuguese 
(Portugal) translation again.

Hobbsee: I WON'T TOUCH AGAIN MOTU BUGS! :-) I'll remember you when I click on 
the mouse and try to do it.

Thanks for all these 3 weeks of hard-working and patience. For the others.. Keep 
going the good hardy work to improve next Ubuntu LTS.


Have a nice day,

Marco Rodrigues
