I’d just like to say thank you to everyone who’s contacted me since I retired, offering words of support and understanding. I’ve made many great friends over the last three years, and enjoyed great working relationships with many more folks, and I hope we all keep in touch in the future.
I have no intention of talking about my retirement in public, so please stop asking me to. I’ve left Gentoo. My involvement with it is now history as far as I am concerned. I can’t stop you talking about why I left, but whatever concerns you want to raise about Gentoo, please make sure they’re your personal concerns instead of whatever you believe it was that finally made me decide to quit. Just leave me out of it, please.
A few folks have been in touch to call me a “coward” for leaving. I despise each and every one of you for that (which I’m sure is hardly news to you). You only make me wonder how you can look at yourselves in the mirror each morning.

Best of luck, by the way.
I’m rather flabbergasted by the notion that one can be a “coward” for deciding to no longer volunteer one’s free time to a project. It doesn’t necessarily take all kinds, there just _are_ all kinds.

Good Luck man. I wish I had more know how and knowledge or perl/bash, and I would take up the 2X thing. I have trouble enough doing my full time job and living life outside of that, so, I’m guessing one man can only take so much… Maybe some other younger folks with more free time, or maybe retired folks with more free time will come along and pick up where you left off…
