Based on some comments here, and the comments in the email and PM's I have been getting, I need to clear the air about something.
Lately, I have grown more and more weary fighting the same battles over and over again; max powder charge, thinner barrels , and welded seam liner. The attacks have become more and more vicious of late.
I have always been a lightening rod on these discussions. I willingly accepted that role. Unfortunately I find this role to be more and more disruptive on the board and wearing on me.
I told Tim, a week or so ago, I have had enough. Tim said, “if you go I go.”
I am only gone as moderator. I am still around but will not be taking part in the heavy discussions. There will be no daily post from me. I will report on projects and nothing more.
Tim was the person who fronted the idea for this board. I only seconded his motion. Even though I was the more vocal and more visible moderator, I have always considered this Tim's board.
I appreciate Tim's loyalty to me, but he doesn't need to leave because I step down.
I want him to continue on as the moderator...or at least as Moderator Emeritus.
