So, thank you, Rick. Thank you for your selfless service to our community in general and to this forum in particular.

I hope we'll keep enjoying your presence around...

Yes, Rick is an excellent teacher. His wisdom, judgment, and especially his keen nose for trouble () have been the model for me and made my transformation from humble member to humble mod very easy.

And he's not going anywhere, Katana, just hanging up his moderator hat. We would hunt him down and bolt him to his keyboard if he tried to retire entirely from the forum.
