From: Stephen Kraus ------------------------------------------------------ I haven't really been able to contribute to CHUGALUG anymore, and while I will certainly be in Chattanooga in the future, I don't feel like I receive much from the list anymore. I'm not an Apple user, and the trend seems to be going more towards Apples products, with the sparse discussion of Linux and TONS of programming and political/community issues being discussed. So for now I bid you adieu So, I'm off. I have fond memories of CHUGALUG, and certainly hope to hear from all of you in the future! Keep the list alive! I remember meeting Mike when I was about 16 and going to my first meeting, and CHUGALUG filled almost all of my teenage years. As I am now 25, digging hard into my Physics degree, I'm leaning more and more away from IT concerns. So, so long all you LUG'ers. I enjoyed you all (even you Chad).

=============================================================== From: Chad Smith ------------------------------------------------------ Stephen, You will certainly be missed on the list. You are wicked smart, and a good guy. Keep installing Linux on everything you own, phones, computers, TVs, toasters, etc. Good luck in all that you do, stay safe, and don't be a stranger. *- Chad W.
