No worries, Daisy! While I am stepping down to allow room for some new blood, my intention is not to leave the Fraternity altogether. There are been a lot of
real-life changes for me this year, and I just don’t have as much time and energy available. However, I plan to still frequent these boards on a semi-regular basis and contribute when I can. I have a lot of confidence that Rotipher (Sharon) will make an excellent addition to our ranks, since she has already been a big asset in our various endeavors. Besides, we have ways of handling those who fail us…

Just to elaborate upon this slightly, the "real-life family" and "real-life career" that Joel mentioned (see the initial post for more) refers to a rather large promotion and a new addition to our family. The promotion has been currently eating up a lot of my freetime. Plus, my wife and I are expecting our first child in mid-February, which will eat up a lot more freetime than work ever would.

Wow! That really takes me back… I cannot remember the last time that anyone actually referred to me as
Javier.
