Hi Jochen,
Sorry to see you go
Thanks for all the hard work you've put into making the PS backend
compliant. We'll keep hammering away at it. Poke in every once in a
while to make sure we aren't mucking things up.
Again, thanks a lot, and thanks for bowing out officially so I know to
take over rather than just grumbling and pestering!
