Farewell, you crust barnacle. I feel that at this point both of us have discussed on our respective resignation blogs how much our respective friendships have meant and how much value we have invested in them. So instead, I will commemorate you for your contribution to this community.

Thank you, Matthew Roden, for not only being an ideal role model to both myself and many others on this wiki (with a level-headedness and steadiness that could only be counterbalanced with your wonderfully dry and snappy sense of humour) but thanks for being such a wonderful creative collaborator to both myself and many others in this community, as well as being one of its foremost creative forces. As I have already said to you in person, though you are deleting all of your articles, the ones that have remained untouched are the ones you actively endeavoured to collaborate with others on, and I cannot think of more fitting, tangible legacy on this wiki for someone who so selflessly and passionately through himself into the arms of this strange, meagre but wonderful wiki.

Since you seek to put out a blog post with minimal revision and polish, I shall humour you and return the favour by putting out a blog comment with a similar lack of editing but with an overwhelming lack of restraint too.Thank you for dedicating so much of your time, spirit and energy into this place, both when you were in service of the community as a staff member and when you were not. But above all, thank you for taking the time to be my friend (which I feel is a remarkable service in itself)

So thanks again, Matt.See you down that dusty old trail.
