Sorry to see you go. Although I don't post much here I do read and
appreciate your prompt and very informative responses to the various issues
that are on arch-general. If this is because of the recent flame-wars over
systemd, couldn't you just ignore (filter out) those messages and
concentrate on real, technical issues that are (occasionally) posted here?

Thank you for your contributions.
