Drat, I hate systems which think they know better than me. Just lost my well-informed, thoughtful, supportive piece of hyperbole. Darn it all to heck.
Actually, it could be summarized in a few words... Tex, you are a very big part of this place and have been ever since I can remember (I'm old), your withdrawal would be counter-productive because the place needs thought, passion, advocacy, and intelligence, and you have these in spades.
The same to the Mods here, who rise above the 'I want it NOW' rubbish and ensure it's still moderately (sic) possible to find stuff of worth here. Your work has not gone unnoticed in this camp.

Well i finally finished reading the PR1.2 thread not an hour ago after i slept last night after getting to page 45 or something, and the way you handled the entire thing was fantastic!! As many people have said including yourself you had no jurisdiction in that forum so it should not in the least of been entirely up to you to control the storm that was that thread! And the manor in which you did try to quel the beast was great considering everything! I dont really post here often but i read the forums every night for info and the lolz and your input in this community as a mod would be sorely missed as demonstrated by this thread! And im fairly sure if you did infact resign we'd all have to hunt you down in a friendly way ofcourse
in a friendly way ofcourse

first time I fully agree with you. Hoping too a black hole coming and deleting some post (including some of myself)
But perhaps that ones must be there to help us (ALL of us) to remember this week and learn of all this mess.
AND DONT BE HARD WITH MY BAD ENGLISH KATHY!
It's nice to agree.

I do agree that I love this forums, its moderators and its users and all of them are the best one can expect.
I <3 Maemo talk
Again I really, really appreciate your original intent and I have to say it was humbling to see the response.
I just a not comfortable with that focus being on me-- especially when other mods work harder than I do (sjgadsby is a machine. No really. I've seen the schematics). The only reason you guys see me is due to a character flaw: I talk way, way too much.
So I accept the appreciation for the little I do but would rather it be spread out to the others who do more. Please don't overlook them just because they choose not to be as noisy as I am.

Don't get me wrong: A thread praising the moderators for their hard work is warranted and needed to be made. OTOH: The original intent of this thread was someone trying to rally support for getting you not to resign.
However, since it appears you have decided as such; this threads original purpose has been fulfilled - and continuing to
