Well its been a real pleasure forming this team and leading itHowever all good things must come to an end.
I'll retire when we reach the top 50, that looks like 6 months tops away.
Lets make it quicker. Are we up to getting shot of me as quick as possible? ....................
Thought so, so lets make it happen.
And lets all look over the next 6 months at who we think would make a good replacement.
Regards
John.

The third time you go through it, you know you don't understand it, but by that time you are so used to that subject, it doesn't bother you anymore".
What does retire mean? Stop folding? Stop chatting with us here? Go sailing around the world? Pull a UnG and disappear in a puff of logic only to mysteriously reappear 2 years later?
Not at all, I'll still fold and still post. I just feel that the team needs a new captain once we are in the top 50. I dont think my layed back style will cut it.
I hope to still be pushing for top ten on the team

The Xs FAH team wouldn't be the same if you weren't at the helm.
Your"laid back sytle"as you phrased it is perfect for this team.
I'll let you in on another little secret. If I wasn't so into WCG I'd be here just because of you..Respect and admiration, that simple.
So please rethink your plans my friend.

I think you style is just fine for the team.You have kept this thing rolling so I guess you know whats best.I would have no problem with you staying as the leader.Are you sure your not just tired of saying "post the log file here and I will look at it."?
Anyways thanks for all the support you have given to team 36362

.... When we get in the top 1000, thats only days away, we will then get better individual stats with overtake and production figures for all the members, thats when we will really take off

I wanted to chime in with my concurrence with the above. I absolutely love your style for this community. I like the laid back style. I like the friendliness that is infused in the rivalries. I like XS F@H. I certainly can understand if you just feel it's time, but....if I got to run the universe, you'd keep on for good

So what is it, 6-7 years of folding... achievement of it's own
I've been at F@H ~2,5 years and feels like ages already
Can understand the need to take some slack... Captain has guided us through really rough places
...just
I just ckd. the calender and it is not April 1st. I haven't been drinking so it's got to be the glasses, (note to self: have eyes ckd.)
My hearing is ok and i hear the drums beating from the restless natives. The drums say John must be drinking
Your style is perfect for us and we would be grateful if you would reconsider.
Yep, perfect style for us laid back folders.
See John, like Sally Fields at the Academy awards a few years ago:
They like me, they really like me"
Sorry pal, your in for a life term barring carpal tunnel or blindness..

Looks like I'll need to have a re-think
However, this is conditional on a full, frank and open dialogue, between us all. Any problems or suggestions for improvements should be encouraged.
I have the ego of a gnat so please air any concerns.

What's to be open about? As you've said, it's not about ego and you're quite open to whatever ideas we manage to come up with. Let's carry on. Folks seem content that our team style is laid back.
Except for Sparky. He's a total basket case, quite in contrast to my mild nearly asleep approach. I'd give him a wet willy but he's too far away
We seem to be doing well lately to boot. Besides, I like being able to raise cain elsewhere and just blame it all on the teams captain(I swear Pythogoras put me up to , honest Injun)

Hey I like the laid back style too generally, but every group just has to have a noisemaker! I just can't help itWhat's to be open about?

There isn't much in this world that is perfect the way it is but you here leading the F@H team is one of the exceptions.Looks like I'll need to have a re-think

Meant to be this way and would be a lesser thing if lead by someone else.
So be quiet, stop typing, grab a part time job and save up for a new Yorkie and make this team grow. The Yorkies use less power and run cooler.
That ought to make the missus happy when she sees the electric bill!

But yes... Pythagoras:
-clean up the stickies please
-and jimwah's and sparky's guide should be on them
-actually our guides are all over the place right now
And what if we make sure it covers all of the clients while we're at it...
LIKE MY GUIDE......woot
Well organizing threads and guides is basic housekeeping from a Mod point of view (I cleaned up in here a couple years ago Pythogras you need a new maid) but has little to do with the team really.
I'll make a post with a link to the guides, we can sticky that one and let all the various guides drop as they'll be all in the one sticky.
