It is with somewhat mixed emotions that I am stepping down as administrator of the Hockey-L list as of January 1. There are several reasons, but mostly it just comes down to being tired of doing it. I'm not sure how long I have held this post (at my age its easy to lose track of things like that) but I am sure it is over 3 years now. Mostly, its been fun. The reason I agreed to administer the list in the first place was because it was such a civil list. There was enlightened discussion from knowledgeable persons, little woofing, and no flame wars. All three things still hold true today and I have every intention of staying active on the list. I greatly appreciate the tone of conversation on this list and thank all of you for making the job of administrator easy. But, as with all things, there eventually comes a time to move on. Since I have lost my enthusiasm for doing the small amount of administrativia that needs to be done, it seems best to let someone else step up to the Blue line. Luckily, we have a very able person willing to take over: Bill Fenwick. I'll continue the duties through December (unless Bill decides he wants to dive in earlier). I trust everyone will continue to make the job easy for Bill when he steps in. There will, of course, be other anouncements on this changeover. So, TTFN, and thanks to everyone who has contributed to the list which is still, IMO, the best discussion list on the net.
