Thread: "Goodbye everyone"

You may think that you didn't contribute much, but I was pretty impressed w=
ith those formulae you posted here, and I don't think I was the only one. =
I may not have fully looked them over and understood them yet (which will c=
ertainly be a tricky task) but it is on my to-do list. While you may not h=
ave been active recently, your going will certainly be a loss to the commun=
ity.

All the best David

It is=A0sad to see one leave considering this is such a small family.=A0 wh=
y? Does anyone know exactly why david wanted to leave?

Johathan,

All we know is what he told us all but I think he was pretty clear. He
loves the project and he didn't feel that he was participating at the
level that he would have liked due to having too many other projects
that also need his attention. I certainly understand that. I also feel
that I have too many projects that I love and I've been trying to close
down some as well; without as much success as David.

The level of activity here has been higher than ever before and I
suspect that he felt that the frequent emails were just too much of a
good thing. For anyone else who may be having similar feelings, please
know that your participation doesn't need to be all-or-nothing. You can
easily edit your membership settings and take your messages in a single
daily digest so that you will never get more than one per day. You can
also turn off email messages altogether but remain a member and just
catch up on the messages on the web site whenever you feel like it. Just
look for the links at the end of this message. Regardless of how you
take your messages, please don't feel obligated to read all of them.
Just delete ones that are too long or not on topics that interest you.
Whatever works for you, works for us. We're just glad to have you and
know that you are interested in higher-dimensional puzzling!
