I think it is a great gesture to pass the torch instead of just going MIA, and while I'm sure that others will step up to fill the hole left behind you (it is already happening as you mentioned), I hope that you will still hang around once in a while at #php.doc (I've seen you there recently, so it I guess you will). best of luck to you and your future endeavors! ps: sorry for the late reply, when I've seen the thread I did not had the time to reply properly, then I managed to forgot about it. :/ -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
