Team,

Unfortunately I need to bow out. Real Life (well, and YAFU development, which I would like to prioritize over this game) is too demanding right now, and rather than let you hang and wonder where I am, I'd just like to make a clean exit. I apologize for this, I hate quitting, but just need to prune some things out or I'll drive myself to sickness or something. I haven't really contributed much anyway, so hopefully the three of you can carry on much as before.

This way you may also be able to lobby for a replacement.

Good luck!

Sorry to see you going, but I understand you perfectly. Sometimes I think I am spending too much time with this games and I also want to back off, but somehow I am too proud to do so...

Well, good luck with yafu, I would happily lose this game 100 times to have a better and double-faster yafu, hehe, I still love that program... any plans for "loops and screws"? :razz: (then I won't need pari/gp anymore...)

Thank you for understanding. And, as always, don't hold your breath for "loops and ifs", but, it's still on the todo list :smile:.

I regret to inform the team that I'll soon need to drop out on short notice, for medical reasons. I expect my drop-out to be temporary and no longer than a week.
