I wanted to let Babblers know I am no longer a deputy. Dr. Bob has "accepted my resignation" (that's so formal-sounding for me, as I am a pretty casual person, but that is the way he refers to it....) as of a couple days ago.
I have enjoyed trying to help this community be more safe and supportive. (I hope and intend to still do that, just in a different way...) I have especially loved working with my fellow deputies, past and present, more than I can even express in words. They are the best. It's just time for me to focus more on other things, including, I hope, more frequent posting here as *just* a poster. It's become too difficult for me to do that, and to attend to my IRL "stuff," while having the responsibility of agreeing to assist Dr. Bob.
I am not going anywhere - Babble is too much a part of my life, so I am afraid you cannot get rid of me all together ;-) I will still be more than happy to help anyone with things that I know about, just from being here for 5 years, and being a former deputy. I hope it has come through that my desire to help has never stemmed from the title, but from....my desire to help :-) Of course, I can't do anything official now, but informally, as a long-time poster, I can. Things like civility buddy or questions about where something is in the FAQ, etc.
Thanks to everyone who has supported me and the other deputies, especially during times when Dr. Bob was absent for long stretches and there may have been some upset in the community. Your kind posts, Babblemails and positive thoughts were/are wonderful things. Please never think they don't make a difference - they do - a huge one during stressful times.
My Babblemail will be on, as always. I am sometimes a slow answerer, though, I have to warn you. I am better in chat or writing quick posts, I think.
Well, that's all, for now....
