adios, Au revior, Auf Widersehen, zay gezunt

As of today I am officially, fully, finally, completely retired.

While I will probably continue to hang out on the public forums for a while ( I do find it interesting and entertaining) , since my credentials here are based on a support contract paid for by my (former) employer, I don't think it right for me to continue to use those credentials. I will continue to check in for a few days just to read any new messages in any "active" threads I have participated in, but will be in strictly 'read only' mode.

I want to thank everyone who has helped me in my own growth over the years. I hope I have been able to return in kind. At the risk of overlooking someone, I'd especially like to thank the following. I just wish I could have met you guys over a real, not virtual, beer.
