My Resignation

[antikoa assworth]

Yeah do not quit, I am one of the few members from way back in the 90s or
early 2000 when this was a usenet group (back then it was a full on unix
group).  I fully get the need and feelings you have but you should not quit
rather stay/lurk.  My input in the last two years is a fraction of my daily
input way way way back......it is how it goes.

Heard your pitch a few times from different people as the group has
changed, grown and morph'd.  It is the state of things....  Hope you stay,
no-one blames you for anything and if they are blaming you they need to get
a life beyond this because this club, thread, group or whatever will out
live them too.  Good to see someone else took the lead and thank you for
your time ;)
