Retiring from the moderating team
 

For a fairly complex combination of personal reasons upon which I do not wish to expand in public, I have decided that the time has come for me to relinquish my responsibilities as a moderator of this forum. I shall continue to support the forum and render any appropriate assistance to the remaining moderators that I can as an ordinary forum member.

I am posting this as a closed thread (while I am still in the position to do so) as I intend this simply as an announcement rather than as a subject for discussion.
