28 December, 2008.
For the past five weeks, I have been undergoing tests at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota and about three weeks ago, was diagnosed with a rare, but treatable form of Testicular Cancer. As of 26 December, 2008, I have begun Chemotherapy, which my Oncologist thinks has a 90+ percent chance of curing my malignancy and I will NOT require further surgery or radiation.
That being said, effective immediately, I am stepping down as moderator of both the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Forums. I have been contemplating turning these forums over to Ken for a while now, and feel that the time has come to relinquish control to his capable hands. I will continue to assist Ken during the transition of power, however, I would like to see another of you, the membership, step up and assist Ken in moderating duties.
I am honored to have had the opportunity to moderate these two forums for the past 4-5 years, or so, and will continue to participate in the discussions from time-to-time.
I thank you for your participation in these forums, and hope that you show Ken and his, yet-to-be-named assistant the same, if not more, respect that you have shown me during my time as moderator. I also hope that you will continue to conduct yourselves in a civil matter, and that Ken will not have to call on his own shadow army of ninjas to help quell any insurrections.
Respectfully submitted,
- Erik Paulson, a.k.a. “Komachi”
