WD> For those who missed the announcement in primarily Z1-based echoes: WD> Janis Kracht is retiring as ZC1 and has asked her constituency to WD> arrange for a proper replacement.
WD> I may shock some people here, but I think she will be missed and WD> hopefully she will stay on even if only as a grunt sysop.
WD> I owe Janis my continued presence in Fidonet. In 2006 I suffered a WD> catastrophic crash [whatever followed later was not as bad] and was WD> ready to abandon ... it was really bad. She may not recall it that well WD> but she pulled me through and enabled me to revive my presence.
WD> The fact that we butted heads a couple of times in the overal picture WD> of this hobby maybe isn't all that important. We found a modus-vivendi WD> to work together. She tried to do a good job in keeping Z1 together and WD> was always ready for a recipe whenever I needed one.
WD> Thank you Janis for your contribution.
Not that I ever contacted her directly but I was always aware of how much she contributed to the Fidonet. Please pass on my thanks, too, and best wishes for her retirement.
