| 56 | For my part: | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | I'd like to thank you all for all your support throughout the years, | |
| 59 | bearing with me when I had to deal with a few migrations, upgrades and | |
| 60 | what not. | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | And here we are, over a decade later and many installations later, it's | |
| 63 | humbling to see how everyone's efforts in maintaining this software have | |
| 64 | gone to servicing many IRC networks throughout the Internet. It's been | |
| 65 | quite a long time, and I'm glad to have had some part in it. | |
| 66 | ||
| 67 | As administrator of the server which houses the lists, I'd like to say | |
| 68 | that I hope I've been of help to everyone over the years, but now that | |
| 69 | my role is done, I will be tearing the lists down. However, I will be | |
| 70 | honest and say that I will not be sorry to do so. My feelings can best | |
| 71 | be described as follows: | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | I. | |
| 74 | ||
| 75 | Fucking. | |
| 76 | ||
| 77 | Hate. | |
| 78 | ||
| 79 | Mailman. | |
| 80 | ||
| 81 | When I migrated to Jaunty earlier this year, I had to essentially | |
| 82 | massage Mailman's data into the new system. It was not fun. I | |
| 83 | absolutely cannot stand this software. Despite its being one of the | |
| 84 | better-maintained pieces of mailing list management software, I cannot | |
| 85 | be convinced to run this software ever again. I hate it that much. | |
| 86 | ||
| 87 | Anyway, enough venting. | |
| 88 | ||
| 89 | I would like to wish everyone the very best in your endeavors. | |
| 90 | ||
| 91 | Take care! | |
| 92 | ||
| 93 | --Ian. | |
