 151 For my part:
 152
 153 I'd like to thank you all for all your support throughout the years,
 154 bearing with me when I had to deal with a few migrations, upgrades and
 155 what not.
 156
 157 And here we are, over a decade later and many installations later, it's
 158 humbling to see how everyone's efforts in maintaining this software have
 159 gone to servicing many IRC networks throughout the Internet.  It's been
 160 quite a long time, and I'm glad to have had some part in it.
 161
 162 As administrator of the server which houses the lists, I'd like to say
 163 that I hope I've been of help to everyone over the years, but now that
 164 my role is done, I will be tearing the lists down.  However, I will be
 165 honest and say that I will not be sorry to do so.  My feelings can best
 166 be described as follows:
 167
 168 I.
 169
 170 Fucking.
 171
 172 Hate.
 173
 174 Mailman.
 175
 176 When I migrated to Jaunty earlier this year, I had to essentially
 177 massage Mailman's data into the new system.  It was not fun.  I
 178 absolutely cannot stand this software.  Despite its being one of the
 179 better-maintained pieces of mailing list management software, I cannot
 180 be convinced to run this software ever again.  I hate it that much.
 181
 182 Anyway, enough venting.
 183
 184 I would like to wish everyone the very best in your endeavors.
 185
 186 Take care!
 187
