[This went out yesterday without the body of the message... sorry 'bout that.]
I've been moderating comp.binaries.mac and comp.sources.mac since the days
when they were created in the mod.mac hierarchy. It's been fun, but it's
time to move on. My wife and I are expecting our first child at the end
of August, and I expect my time will be spent in vastly different ways.
Also, I'd like to spend more time programming the Mac. My first commercial
program in nearly finished, which I hope to announce here in the near future.
So, if you'd like to take over as moderator of comp.{binaries,sources}.mac,
drop me a line. Requirements are that you have a Mac (obviously) to check
out the software that's posted, and you have access to a UseNet node where
posting around 2 megabytes of articles a month wouldn't pose a problem for
the local administrator(s). Additionally, it would be helpful if the UseNet
node were "well-connected" to facilitate getting your postings out on the
net as quickly and reliably as possible.

Hopefully everyone received <9806@dhw68k.cts.com> which I posted after I
noticed that my request for a new comp.{binaries,sources}.mac moderator
went out without the body of the message.
To respond to several queries about whether my decision to step down was
a result of recently being flamed, let me reassure everyone that I've
been flamed before, and the timing here is merely coincidence. As I
stated in <9806@dhw68k.cts.com>, the main reason for moving on is time;
I'd like to be able to spend more time doing other things, like writing
Mac programs, and my wife and I are expecting a baby at the end of August,
which I'm told will leave me little time for anything else. There's also
a bit of burn-out, since I've been doing this since the moderated groups
were first formed.
To those who recently have sent notes thanking me for the work I've
done: thank you.
