  Hi Nick,

 that's quite infortunate, you did a really good job of taking care of
users bugs and requests those years. The libraries are not trivial
there is quite some complexity, and you managed to master that code,
not a small achievement !
 I'm really not able at that point to insure the same level of followup
for those projects myself, that's obvious for anybody monitoring those
lists lately.

   I will join the others thanking you for everything you provided,
I hope you have a good plan forward, obviously you have a lot of
technical skills while being able to act in a leading way !

    Best wishes,

     sincerely,

Daniel
