ah man, I missed this, but it would be worse still not to reply at all!
It's good to see you pilot your own course to wherever you want to go next. I believe I understand your desire to draw the curtains on your activity here. I hope I'm speaking for a handful of the older members here (who should post their farewells!) when I say you'll be missed. Your particular energy here was always enough to keep us on our toes. Whatever do you do next, I hope you do with confidence and with pride. I absolutely believe you're bound to leave a positive imprint on those around you in the future.
