Hi All

Jackson Harding has asked me to pass on the following information due to his system having crashed.

The other day his system had a fatal failure. The system is beyond immediate repair and due to work committments (possibly overseas for a few months) available time to make such repairs is in short supply.

As such and the fact he can not get on line to tell you personally, he has asked me to make this post.

Jackson has stated he will not be returning to the net. That he has formally resigned as Z3C as of now.

He wishes all of us well and has asked me to contact the RCs (which has been done) to organise a replacement.

As for the nodelist, well, if its on his machine we may be up the creek for trying to retrive it. I have put it to the RCs perhaps whoever replaces Jackson should give us a FULL list asap and we can go from there.

You will no doubt be hearing from the RCs soon. In the conversations I have had with them it looks like Malcolm Miles will be a good prospect to take the caretaker role pending an election.

I suggested that if everyone is happy with Malcolm that we just get on with it (forego an election). We have just had one recently and there is no point to re-invent the wheel so soon unless there is severe discontent. (sorry Malcolm, I've put you in it).

This is all of course is all subject to Malcolm and the majority of RCs being in agreement.

Even though Jackson can not read this I think a thank-you is in order from us here in SA and on behalf of the member boards here best wishes with the future.

I suppose this is all that really needs to be said at this point and it will now be up to the RCs and input from the rest of us.
