I'm afraid that the recent weeks on LEM have been fairly harrowing for me personally. I have more or less discovered that my heart is no longer in it and my mindset is no longer correct. Therefore I feel I have no option, in order to relieve me from what has become a wretched task of filtering out and marking 'read' all the LEM List mail i get without so much as reading it. I am resigning from my post as the List Nanny of Vintage Macs, and leaving all the lists except Mac-UK. I have made some great friends through the years on LEM, but also seem to have made a few most unsavory enemies.
For everyone's information this stand-down does not indicate anything about my intents or loyalties, I'm simply depressed with the way things have got on the lists and don't want the stress or hassle. I hope to god the relevant folks around here come to to their senses (however needs to) and sort out the mess once and for all. I might return one day, when i don't have an answer to a question, but in the mean time I'm gone. I'll still be around on the scene, and indeed will continue to work on a new site for 68k Mac ppl. As they say, "if you need me, you know where I am". I thank those that have stood with me for the journey for their friendship and trust and I hope I can keep in touch with most of you. As for those who caused trouble or made my and other people's life hard, I hope your happy. Remember the old quote Steve Jobs took from Dylan at the 1984 shareholders meeting, it's become a bit of a guide to my life: "Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin'. For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'" Goodbye. Stay well, and god-speed. Special->Shutdown.
