To reiterate a sentiment I just wrote to those who commented on the front page, thanks to each of you for the far-too-kind words.
I'm moved by this reaction to my departure, and I look forward to staying in touch with many of you in the times to come.
I'll be in and out this evening but popping back in to respond to a few of the individual comments in this thread a bit later on, and again, much thanks to all for the well wishes - and of course to ACF for starting a thread giving me far more attention than I deserve.
