Pete,
I am shocked. In my limited time with SMF, (September 2009) I have followed your support and activities. Not so much recently cause I have been travelling for work, but whenever I had issues of any kind it was simple searches of your posts that often lead to the solutions. Sorry Gilles, not really heard much about you. But thats cause I am a sleep half of the time.
regardless, Pete, to me (who is Still a Noob user, not permitted to the BIG forum) you were the face of SMF.. I honestly figured without reasearch you were the Lead on the project, and if nothing else thought you were SMF. Bet you someone is kicking their but now that you two are gone.
anyway.. I just want to wish you guys the best of luck with all of this, and let you know that I too have been in this kind of situation before. Working tirelessly to help build something big and because of some narrow minded thinkers, you get pushed out because they know it all.
Trust me, Your better off now!!! After reading all of this thread, I too like many here, cant wait to "Convert" It will be worth it.
Best regards,
Trev
