Ah, I probably could have phrased that better. :-) What I meant by this was that the decision to resign was wholly mine, the suggestion that the position itself be abolished coming up in conversation with the 2 other core team members (David & John) I was discussing my resignation with. With the 3 of us in agreement, we knew that at least 2 more core members were a certified yes just based on past statements (and they duly chimed in afterward saying "good idea") and that we therefore had a reasonable quorum for just going ahead and combining the two announcements. :) Jordan
