It's time to move on...

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I just submitted my resignation as moderator of the RRF Band Forums. It was a decision long in the making and wasn’t easy. Shifting priorities require me to devote my time elsewhere and when I do have the time for guitars, I need to be playing them as opposed to reading about them online.

I also feel that I have contributed about all I have to offer here and think that there are other on this forum that can lead discussions better than I.

I’ve enjoyed every minute of being a member of this forum, even the (very few) rough moments were like a walk in the park. I’ll remain a member and still drop in from time to time. Hopefully Chris will continue to compose, play and frustrate us with his technical prowess and superb musicianship for many years to come.

To all of you that have supported me, especially Tony, Kevin, Jeff, John, Peter, Brian, Brian & Miguel, Thanks! My apologies if I’ve skipped anyone. Edit: Also Steven, thanks for your kind PM's over the years.

Yes, I also understand how you would need a break to make more time for playing and life in general. I certainly appreciate all the time you have put in here. Your perspective on all things Chris Squire-related has been enjoyable and enlightening.

Time waits for none of us...we have to grab it while we can. Please do check in as often as you can.

Thanks for your time and effort, Jim!

Thanks, Jim, for all the time and effort you have put in here. Don't be a stranger! 8)

I guess Chris has to take the reins now, eh? :wink:

Thanks for all your efforts, Jim, and with the letting go of moderator responsibilities and the time involved with that, I hope you can check in here a little more often just to chat a bit. :D

Jim,

I am truly sorry to find that you have given up your post as a moderator, I certainly know all too well that it was not an easy decision on your part to take such a step. I do look forward to staying in touch with you and I trust that you will enjoy your time playing your beautiful instruments.

Rock on.

Brian

Hello Jim!

The RRF has been such a good place to discuss about Chris' music, Yes, Rickenbacker and all other subjects we shared here. If we kept coming here all these years it's certainly because we feel good, useful, interested. I am sure that your role as moderator was the main factor for this success.

So, thank you for all of your work to provide that for us members, who were always happy to be around, enjoying the forum (and without the worries of a moderator!). I am hopeful that, in spite of your departure as moderator, this will continue to be the best place to come. Yet more important, to wish you the best for your activities beyond the RRF!

Obrigado por tudo!

Miguel

As usual, I'm late....

Thanks to you Jim for all the time & effort your have devoted to the RRF.

I truly am sorry to see you step down. A more knowledgeable YESHEAD I've never known.

I too understand that sometimes other obligations can take priority, some within our control, some not.
