I've requested that David Collison, the webmaster of RyPN, remove any and all Site Administration and Moderation privileges from my account, as I've no wish to have any responsibility whatsoever for the further course of this forum. The stresses simply aren't worth it. I will continue to participate as a user of the site, but want nothing further to do with the management, guidance or moderation of this site.

Moderation is a tough and thankless job. I wonder how things would be if every poster was required to take a turn at it.

Just wanted to add my thanks and appreciation as well. Seems a shame that only now are we honoring your efforts. So I'd like to add my thanks to Randy and Tom as well.

Hope you can find a less stressful activity to pursue such as herding cats or running a Thomas event...
