Geoff, you really deserve a lot more credit than you've allowed us
to share. NewDocs was your brain child and you worked hard in the
formative stages. I know others encouraged and helped, but you did
the grunt work. The only reason I got involved was because of you,
and because of your gentle, unassuming leadership. You've always led
by example, from the doing to the way you've encouraged others to
become involved. Your vision was infectious. Your vision has been a
success.
There are absolutely no hard feelings toward your resignation on my
part. Of course I would encourage you to stay on, even at a lower
key. You grasp certain aspects of NewDocs differently than I do or
David does. I've relied on that during the times I'm puzzled or
uncertain about what I'm doing. But I know it wouldn't be respectful
to try to pressure you to stay on. You know your own needs best and
I must respect that. Hopefully from time to time you'll still feel
like putting your 2 cents worth in. And I hope if you have another
of your good ideas you'll share it. All of that would be most
welcome! But only at your own pace and as you feel inspired to do
so, my friend.
Best wishes,
Leigh

for the kind words on the Wiki thread Leigh - I don't expect I will
respond there. I didn't expect there would be any avenue for me to
have a few words after 2014-02-01 Cheers till I am finally cut off!

I'm afraid the "improvements" for NewDocs are just a little too hard
for me to comprehend. You now need robots to carry out
the day to day tasks. There is little enjoyment in carrying out these
tasks as far as I am concerned. Newdocs used to be
much simpler and more enjoyable to carry out the day to day tasks.
The latest tool for example turns up with far more
prospective pages than is necessary. Well not for me David, I have no
desire to plough through rubbish and useless pages
to end up with one one two positive examples. So count me out. As I
say, you don't need me, you need a robot. I am afraid
I have little choice but to resign. I am not prepared to conduct the
work as is expected.
Cheers,
Geoff.
I assume that there will be an announcement in the Wiki thread re my
resignation (due to dissatisfaction?) That would
be nice! I apologize for not addressing your post but at present I
feel a little riled. Thank you for your kind words but I
suspect that it would be all or nothing for me. There is little room
here for this little foot soldier.
Cheers and best wishes,
Geoff.
Actually thinking about things, I believe I would prefer to be sacked.
This situation is really dragging on.
Kindly advise how this desire could best be met!
Cheers,
Geoff.
