Your effort has been appreciated however, but when it comes time
to let go, one has to let go. (e.g when I had no more time for SCSI
I let it go.).

I'm sure your knowledge of the field will however make you a valuable 
resource in the future, whether for us or others. I hope however that 
this doesn't mean we won't see you on -arch or other places where your 
perspective will always be valuable.
