    Farewell esteemed moderator, it's your efforts (and those of the other mods) that have helped to keep this forum genteel and civilised for the benefit of all of us.

    Thanks and good luck.

    It has all been said, but another bit of thanks from me too.

    I trust you will still lurk over in collectors so we may once in a while benefit from your knowledge and writing talent?

    Indeed, many thanks, and yes, I will still be penning the odd piece for AGW from time to time, too.

    All the moderators have been absolutely brilliant in my time as a member of the bbs, i can understand why your stepping down but from a selfish point of view it's a shame to lose someone as fair and level minded as yourself...

    Happy Retirement Gareth!
    I know how difficult it can be to be a mod sometimes!
    Have a well earned rest!

    Welcome back

    Cheers Lakey, am 'poaching' that fact from you as the theme for my post-mod signature.
