[King Prout]

y'all,

as some of you are no doubt aware, I have been frequenting these threads -and FR in general- less and less frequently over the last several months. This trend is likely to continue, and may possibly become more pronounced.

It is mostly a matter of having my attention elsewhere.

As there is an election cycle entering its end-run, and as a consequence it is likely that there shall be an uptick in Moby-style incursions on this site, I am remiss if I fail to turn over "captaincy" of the RKBA pinglist to a reliable and more available member. I tried to do so, semi-democratically, a couple of months back, but the results were not at all conclusive.

I am now going to be arbitrary.
I surrender the list and the control/responsibility for the "official" activities of the RKBA, effective immediately.
My last act is to name a provisional replacement: Harmless Teddy Bear, please stand forth and hold out your right hand...

Fair winds and following seas, shipmate. See you back when you have the time and energy,

John / Billybob

[King Prout]

and now, as if a long day's work is done, I shall fade into private life once more.

those who so desire know where I can be found, should need or want for it arise.

[Jet Jaguar]

Prout, good to see you around.

I too, have been posting less than I would like.

Check in when you can!


Harmless Teddy Bear

I am sure will uphold Prouts' tenets as the controller of The List.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

You refuse to recognise election results? :-P

Seriously, I hope you don't disappear from FR altogether, KP - you'd be missed!

[4mycountry]

Check in when you can! *salute*

[Not A Snowbird]

Nice to see you again, if only for a moment. I've been somewhat scarce myself.

[Chode]

UP!!! take my Liege...

This trend is likely to continue, and may possibly become more pronounced.

Not good. Not good at all.

If you can't visit the UT for you, visit it for us!

Have a heart KP!

;-P

[Army Air Corps]

May I say aufwiedersehen because I trust that we shall see you once again.

We shall strive to uphold the fine tradition that you have nurtured as well as the witty and urbane frivolity that you have encouraged.

[Victoria Delsoul]

That's OK, King. I prefer politics myself. :-)

[tuliptree76]

That's okay, KP. I'm not online as much as I used to be, either. Sometimes life gets in the way of FReeping.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I am here KP.

Ouch ouch ouch hot!

:gets pot holder and picks up list:

Ok got it!

List is now posted on my page where I will keep it safe.

(In passing I noted that my page needs updating)

KP I know how this "real life" thing can interfere with freeping. We'll leave the light on for ya. Stop by when you can.
