    Hey guys and gals,

    I'm getting run-over with with real life commitments right now between trying to balance a long distance relationship, finishing a dissertation, getting an article published, teaching, and applying for jobs. It's really not going to let up until next summer, at the earliest. With any luck, I'll be moving into a job where most of these same commitments will continue (at least until I get tenure, fingers crossed). I need to put gaming on the back burner for the foreseeable future. I've cut down my gaming hours, but I'm finding I spend too much time lurking around the SoR and MWO forums--I've become something of a forum addict. So I'm attempting to cut myself off from all of this by stepping down and taking a long break. I'll still be on MWO occasionally, so I hope to see all of you on the battlefield (hopefully on the friendly team).

    I've really enjoyed my time here, especially the great community of gamers we have. Thanks to everyone for making this such a great experience, and for many fine memories.

    *raise a glass of scotch in salute*
    Cheers, and good luck to all.
