Because of final exams I have not been around much as of late, and now that they are over and I'm back home on dialup I am going to be around even less most likely.  I am also going to be out of the country and away from an internet connection for the second half of summer studying at Cambridge University.  Due to my recent absence, and my future absence, I have decided to resign from the CoN Staff.  I feel that I do not deserve to call myself part of active staff when I'm not around much to do anything, mostly because the rest of the staff works so hard and does such a magnificent job with everything.  I don't think it is right for me to share the same title.  

I have discussed my resignation with Josh, and he was kind enough to offer me a position back anytime.  I will most likely take him up on that sometime in the future, but probably not anytime soon, as my classes will only become more and more demanding in the years to come.  

This does not mean I won't be around, I will be around as much as I can chatting it up and posting here, I still enjoy being here and I love discussing this and that with all of you.    I wish Josh and everyone else on staff the best, thanks for putting up with me when I wasn't doing much, and thanks for understanding why I must do this.

This is a sad day for the CoN. ;_;  Good luck with classes, travels, and life in general.  It'll be sad to see a staff member turn his chips in. :(

I hope that you'll find your next years of Uni easy as pie so you can find more time to return to us. Best of luck until we see you again.

Damn, man, this is unexpected.  We're all going to hate to see you go.  You've always been a good friend to me, and it was awesome meeting up with you at MSU (even though there's no proof since the digicam got stolen by that damn taxi driver).  Thanks for everything you've done.   -_-

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there is something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me

At least you're resigning with dignity unlike two who were in the news recently (Mike Price and Tony Eusteschy (sp?)) But then again... they both were fired.... b'ah, it's all good

anyway, good luck in your future endeavors, G. :)

dunno if you'll get this but i'm posting on the forums for you and that's pretty damn rare.  dammit!  I think you should come back occassionally so that i can harrass you about being a chauvinist :-P  But best of luck and have lots of fun in England and good luck on exams and stuff like that!!!
