It is indeed a problem. I might clarify my position a bit. Basically I'd be |
| 27 |
happy to watch things going along and giving advice (more like an advisory |
| 28 |
board), but I don't really have the time to do the paperwork kinds of things. |
| 29 |
Those are also very hard if you're not in the US. In some way it is also a |
| 30 |
bit of knowing where to start. |

I don't think it is urgent that I'm replaced, I'll still be around although |
| 33 |
I'll probably not be able to always reply the same day. It is just that I |
| 34 |
think others could do it better than I do. |
