Hi, Gentoo.
Just to say I'll be withdrawing from this list in a few days,
unsubscribing actually, mainly so that I can go back to being an Emacs
developer; the number of emails on both lists combined is just more than
I can handle comfortably.
I've counted 28 questions I've asked since late 2009, and every single
one of them bar two got good answers too. One of those two I answered
myself just after posting the email ;-), and the other is currently a
bug report.
I'd like to say THANK YOU to everybody who helped me get a well running
Gentoo system and patiently taught me about it, but in particular to
Alan McKinnon because he's got such a splendid name.

Aw shucks, now you made me blush :-)
I know what you mean about the quality of user around here - no other list I'm
on anywhere else comes close. I know I whinge a lot about the many wonderful
ways Gentoo can break, but I keep coming back. Part of it is the ease of
changing things around and trying new versions, but mostly it's because of the
folks here.

Good bye and maybe we see you again here at some times in the future.
Good luck for being an Emacs developer.

Well, you can withdraw from the volume of mail
but using gmane to interface to the list:
gmane.org
Just use an interface like gmane.org
or follow the postings (when time permits) via
your favorite mail reader.
Gmane if very cool and you do not need to post or
delete messages, only use on the rare occasion you
have time. If you hose your gentoo system, you can get
quick help from any web browser; no need to re-subscribe
to the list, just configure gmane and those mail packets
go BYE_BYE!
Mail readers are threaded and an easy way to catch up
on important things by just browsing topics....just
subscribe to linux.gentoo.user
Besides how can grow a cool community, if you leave?
hth,
James

Good luck with all your future endeavors. Your participation will be
missed, but that does not diminish the years you've put into Gentoo.
FWIW, I delete 95% of the threads on gentoo-user because of time or
inapplicability to my systems or interests. I've also dropped my mail
list subscriptions way way down over the years. It's something that
everyone ends up doing as their priorities change or as interests focus.

Well, just make sure you pay your bill before you leave. You've been
asking questions for 1053 days now, so all those bits have to be paid
for. And we only accept pizza or beer. Alan or Dale will provide you
with the shipment details.

For future reference, I like pizza but give the beer to someone else.
I'm a T totaler myself. Also, my favorite is Papa Johns although I
can't afford them anymore. I'd rather eat a steak than spend that much
on a pizza. Pizza is good but steak is better.
And to think you all thought you had me figured out. lol

Donations in the form of new hardware (like a proper Pizza oven :) ) should be

When it comes to beer, what better place than Bavaria? We're not exactly
short of pizza either. Come on all, down to Nuremberg, and I'll buy you
a round!

Wow! I started in about 1997, writing my first commands (to scroll the
