Hamish and others,

I may have given the wrong impression.

There's no need for anybody to feel guilty or to appoint blame.

Due to lack of time I haven't been spending as much time with the section as 
I should since last summer. Anybody that stepped in and helped was welcome 
and has proven himself a great contributor to the SourceMage community.

It's just that I find it hard to have partial control of something and in 
stead of trying to do 2 jobs (RL and perl guru) half-assed, I think it is 
best to hand over control and maybe become a part time contributor when I 
do find the time.
