Thank you, and good luck.

I totally agree with this sentiment.

I my heart just sank a bit. If, after all the talk and promises we've heard the past few days from various .com and .org admins and higher-ups, you still felt the need to step down... I don't hold out much hope for .org. Sad day... very, very sad day.

You'll be missed Erwin

exactly. Why do the moderators have such a great say here that Admins can't implement things? On my forum, a moderator is there to help members, and yes discuss things with admins and be a sounding board, but they have nothing to say about the ultimate deision. The buck stops with the admins and the admins ONLY.

totally agree, if it's a big enough difference, I'd replace a mod before I'd lose ANY good admins like Erwin.
Now I'm seeing a bit better, one of the reasons .org is in the shape it's in.

if that is so, Erwin shouldn't have felt the need to resign. Obviously, he sees little hope as well.
