Maybe I should clarify a bit.  The first part was a joke.  I have filed
bugs and I have never had one closed that I can recall.  I'm clueless
about that sort of thing and he still managed to figure mine out.  Not
sure how he did that though.  LOL

I subscribe to the dev list and I think that was where I read he was
leaving.  A LOT, I mean  LOT, of people asked him to stay.  I didn't but
I didn't want him to leave either.  Even if he had closed one of my
bugs, I still wouldn't.  I think replacing him with a bot thing was
going to cause a lot of trouble.  I read that was their plan at least.

So, I agree.  He does his job well in my opinion.  If I had a few extra
brain cells left, I would try to help.  Me being on dial-up and my
health making me unpredictable to say the least would make that pretty
much pointless.

Glad you stayed Jakub.  Hang in there.
