I'm leaving also...

[Andrew Swinn]

Sorry to see you go Chris.

Although there have been some comments thrown about  on the mailing list 
that are pushing the boundaries of the code of conduct I would hope that 
most users are strong enough to rise above it.

Remember, email is an emotionless medium. Keep this in mind and be sure 
to read emails with a positive and open mind.

Not everything diserves a response and sometimes you are better off just 
ignoring certain replies. As is often said, 'Don't feed the trolls'.

Keep the delete key handy.

As I have gone through life I have seen many many communities, both 
online and offline, that included people that have caused friction to 
myself and others. The challenge is learning to rise above this and to 
spin that negative into a positive. Quite often you won't be seeing the 
full picture, and with email communication this is even more so.

Life is too short to become hung up on the negative. Sometimes you just 
have to get over it and move on.

Regards,

Andrew Swinn
