Srikeit, I agree with you. Personally, my edits in 2009 dipped heavily
after I joined the list and I started going to offline meets. I myself
had disabled deliveries from this list, only to create a new account
for it. Sad.
As for retirement, don't worry. I'd give him some time to think over
it. It took me five months to think, realise and take that retired
banner off my userpage. Let's hope Pradeep thinks faster than me.
