We all know what a time-consuming burden being administrator can be. I don't think anybody spent as much time on it, or worked as hard at it, as you did. Godspeed on your scientific work, and thank you for your supreme efforts as administrator!!! Angela, thank you for your forbearance in letting Eric spend so much time with us here. :]] Eric, you were a great administrator and a true architect of our forum structures. You will long be remembered in the annals of the Seti forums. And now, to your new endeavors... Up, Up, and Away!!! ID: 732322 ·

Hold on a minute, anyone would think that Eric's leaving Seti! As I understand it the position of Forum Admin is being "rotated" amongst the Seti staff, which will give Eric a welcome break from that task for a while, before he retuns to that role again at a future date. If this means that he can now concentrate on the science and getting Nitpicker up and running, then I think it's a sensible idea. Just what I was thinking also.
