    May the road rise up to meet you,
    May the wind be ever at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face
    And the rain fall softly on your fields.
    And until we meet again,
    May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

    From one green-blooded, Mackerel Snapper paddy-pot to another, I couldn't resist this Irish farewell. But this isn't farewell, is it? This is relinquishing our claim to you as a fellow mod, but not as a fellow PnQ-ite. You're not leaving the site, buddy! Not if it's the last thing I do!

    Please join me, PnQ-ites, in thanking our dearest Colm for his long, adept, patient, and honorable service as a PnQ mod. He's decided to step down of his own accord, but he's always welcome back on the squad. There. I've written it for all to see so no take backs ;)

    Best wishes, Colm. See you around on the site, my friend. Our squad has lost a little bit of luck, and a whole lot of charm with your departure.

    Colm, you've been a gentleman, a friend, I hope, and a dedicated moderator. [As well as a fellow Mick]
    I am truly glad you are staying here in the family.

    As I have already said, I hope you start raising a ruckus soon!

    Not been on here too long, but anyone who has risen to the challenge of being a moderator and done so with such obvious aptitude deserves a lot of credit. So thank you and all the very best,

    Bwahahaha, Jane, you really outdid yourself with that farewell!

    Colm and I talk almost daily and I've told him multiple times how much I hate him for stepping down :P I'll tell him to check in here :)

    Thanks Jane for the lovely thread and everyone for the messages :)

    I had a great time when I was a mod, I just couldn't commit to it anymore. I'll still be loitering around here from time to time though (Don't fear Larry, I'll be giving out if there is giving out to be done lol)
