But you are right sometimes you come to a stage where something has to give and quality of life as Kelly so eloquently presented is a lot more important. I will still be tweeting or emailing you for advise and hope to still be having a beer with you when both of us have zimmer frames :P Thank you for your contribution to the Industry :) A Gary – I have known you from the pre-AWIA days when you first rocked up as a consultant to look at our CMS, you had a lot of energy then and amazingly still do – your passion for the industry and knowledge of all things web are deep and you have created a void that will be missed and hard to fill.

It's hard to say no though, especially when it's all stuff you love. I too am taking a break from community obligations so I know exactly where you're coming from. Hopefully a bit of extra white space will mean that when we are ready to spend more time giving back to the community again, we will be doing it with 200% enthusiasm.
