Hi dear friends,

For personal reasons not related to my cancer status, I am backing off and have officially given up the role of Chief Administrator. These personal issues are just placing way too much stress on me. I will still be an administrator and as active as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Jim, thank you for everything you have done to make this such a successful site, but it is most important that you take care of yourself first. I know that everyone will understand and respect your decision to step away as chief administrator. I wish you all the best. Take care,

WOW... I am overwhelmed. That you all for you kind words. Things will be different. However, I am confident that the forum will continue to help people. I certainly will be on... just maybe not as much.

Again, thanks.
