Thanks for having me as Admin for the past 4 years, on and off. :)

I agree with everyone here. Erwin, as long as I've been part of this community (since '01 or so), I've seen you consistently display knowledge, courtesy, humor and creativity. Personally I've been in awe of your ingenuity as well: sometimes it seems like every other hack I've installed on my vB 2.x.x. forum was created or adapted by either you or Chen!

Your posts over the past few days have shown true leadership and grace. I wish you'd change your mind, but I can't say I blame you for stepping down if you find it frustrating and detrimental to yourself. It also sends a useful message: sometimes resignation is the best way to stay true to your own values ... a kind of protest, in a way. (I sure wish folks in Washington DC would show as much dignity and self-respect!!!)

Anyway, best wishes to you and many many thanks for all your help over the years.
