    You have always been the more moderate of the Mods and your steadying influence has, I am sure, helped to maintain a balanced approach to the difficult task of maintaining order.

    I hope that you will continue to make your valuable contributions to the "Gentleman's" section as a regular BBS member.

    ATB,
    I'll second this

    Gentlemen, I am genuinely touched by all your kind words. Many thanks. Going off line now, however, as I have a set of chalk animal targets to decimate at my plinking range.

    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.
