Hi YA.... the point was not a directed point or slant against you or another, it is merely fact, which you even admitted.... it becomes too much for you. You took time off, no issues with that and well done for looking after you. As you had stated to me though, you didn't really do anything here in an editorial capacity, and I cannot have people with such permissions just "hanging around" as such. Again, not a degradation against you or any prior editor, far from it actually.

I am much appreciative of all contributions from past editors, but the facts are, the forum needed change. The forum needs new editors, new perspective, new guidance.... I do the same as you, I take time away from the forum, though obviously cannot do that much as the owner, though I still do it for my own benefit as editing just becomes taxing on one's life, thoughts and creates its own world of frustration at times.

Again YA, it was not against you and please do not feel that way, as that was not the intent. The intent was simply to state that we all become stale when doing one thing for a long period. It is like a job, many do it because they need the money, but they don't enjoy it or even if they do, at times they become stale within it, disgruntled, over-worked, just need a rest, etc. Whilst not the same with the forum as it is not a paid issue, work is, and that is what keeps us often in something stale and we resent, money. I have the ability though here to not be concerned over that... so we can shuffle one another at times.

Please do not feel as though I was having a dig at any past editor YA, as that was not my intent and I apologise if you felt that way. Not my intent, just the use of the word stale is a fact of life when someone does something for long periods, they become stuck in their ways, narrow sighted, not open to new and diverse options, stale basically. It is a fact of life, not a slant.
