hi Kris; first of all, thanks for all the hard work you put into gtk+ over the past 10 years - it's been a lot, and I'm sure it has been very much appreciated by everyone.
it's sad that you don't have time any more, but I also appreciate the fact that people have to work - and move on to other projects. kudos, and hopefully we'll see you come back some day. :-) ciao, Emmanuele.
