evening Folks

I'm sitting here thinking about what to say and how to say it. For someone who's written thousands of post, you'd think it'd come easy ... but it doesn't. I mention this so that if I ramble a bit, perhaps you'll understand.

I guess starting with the 'official' part is a good idea. We all know, if it goes long we'll lose half the readers.

So officially, I (actually Rose Ann and Myself) are no longer YNOT Staffers effectivly immediatly. If you have official coorespondence for YNOT you should direct it to admin@ynotnetwork.com untill/unless instructed otherwise by YNOT Staff. Please be patient if there's a slight delay in them getting back to you. If you have personal email for me, please send it to Khan@ Khans.com

Wow, basically, that's it. Just that simple and it's done. No doubt they'll be a few days of crossed email as adjustments are made but just that short paragraph sums it up. We ain't with YNOT no mo.

Now, for those that think you're finally rid of that old fart Khan, think again. Those from the old days know I was never shy about posting opinions on boards and I expect I will be around for a lot longer than some of you would like. I'm excited about how this year is starting and looking forward to working with my new years resolutions and the adventures ahead. For those that missed them, I've stuck them at http://www.dacave.com/khan/art_ny2001.html so you can rub my nose in it when I slip up.

I want to take a moment here to thank all the YNOT Staffers, present and past, who have given freely of their time, experience and loyality. It's good to see that many have moved forward and hopefully, your time at YNOT holds nice memories. I'm honored to have had the privledge to work with each of you and if our roads cross again in the future, we'll tip a glass and BS about the old times.

Also, I'd like to thank the many many folks, old timers and newbies, who've made my work easier over the years. Working with you and for you in building something of value has made it worth any small bumps and bruses along the way. Hopefully we've been some small good. I look forward to working with many of you in the future. Feel free to get up with me at any time if I can help.

With regards to the future YNOT ... I have every confidence that with Andy's and BillJ's leadership, they'll take YNOT to areas it's never been before. I sincerely wish them the best of luck for whatever direction they go in.

My warmest regards to you all.

be well
