My Resignation

Just want to announce that I am resigning as moderator due to health reasons. It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with all of you DaniWeb members, the moderator team and administrators. I will continue to drop by now and then to see how things are going, but will not be as visible as I have been in the past.

As Mr. Spock would have said, Live long and prosper.

WTF?! Will you disappear from every programming forum online?

When you disappear will the internet too?

Melvin, we will all miss you - but then you know that :)

Thanks for all your hard work here over the years, it really has been appreciated. Not just by your fellow mods and us admins, but by the members of the community who have been inspired by, and benefited from, your knowledge in the forums.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope that your health issues are of the kind that I can wish you a fast recovery. If not, I hope that find a way to life with them.

It's always been a pleasure reading your posts and learning new things from them. Especially in the Win32-area ;)

I wish you (and mrs. Ancient Dragon) all the best!

AD,

I already PM'ed you yesterday so you know how I feel, but I figured a public statement of some sort was in order anyways. I wish you the very best of luck and good health in the future!

Best of fortune to you, and do what you need to do to preserve your health

Thank you everyone for your kind remarks. I assure you that I won't disappear forever, I just won't be as visible as I have been in the past. At least for the present.
