Hi Just a quick note to say thankyou and bye. My job at the struggling telecoms giant Worldcom has come to an end, what they will do not i do not know but then thats Worldcoms approach to everything i suppose. Anyway thankyou for the enjoyable times i have spent talking to you all and for enriching my life. I have had a great time being part of this ever changing community and i wish you all the best for the future. I do not know where i go from here but then maybe its time to change my path in life, recently i have found my self unable to keep abreast of most of the issues so my lack of mails will probably not be missed. I will miss all of you who knew me and no doubt some of you will breath a sigh of relief. Anyway i wish the community all the success in the world and please do not loose sight of the RIPE ideals that this community was built on. Hope our paths cross again some day.
