You are one of the most productive devs we have (had...). You've helped me |
72 |
on more than on occasion. |
73 |
|
74 |
While I'm sure anybody could build a "the world hates me" case from |
75 |
selecting a few particular bugzie entries I'm also pretty sure that peoples |
76 |
personalities will have caused more of an issue here than their actions... |
77 |
|
78 |
Good luck in the future, enjoy having some free time! |
