It was a great run guys, quite a few years now that I think about it, but the time has come. I'm stepping down as mod of this forum, immediately. I'll stick around until the new team gets into place but after that don't call me!

If Bill wants I'll be more than happy to mod a very quite forum, but I can't do the job properly here any longer.

All the best Hattie, I can't imagine it is an easy or fun job and you did well. Will you hang around the tech sections at all?

Hattie,
I am sure you have good reasons for your decision. Your passifying nature has been a godsend in OD. You have had a certain quiet way of just getting on with it & getting the job done without ruffling feathers. OD will be much poorer for you not being here to keep things running smooth. As you know, I thought you had taken on filling the void caused by BC's move. Many on here saw you as a good model for what Bill Wood needed to look for in choosing a new mod.

Hattie was an awesome moderator, imo.
