Oh, Sue, if only you were posting that you were leaving forever
because everything about Wikipedia was terrible!!!!!111! -- if only
that, because then we would all know that you were really coming back
soon (though perhaps with a different username).

But no, you are as classy and thoughtful and open as always, and for
once that makes me so sad, because I will be very sad to see you go.
But! There is also a big exciting future ahead, for both you and for
Wikimedia, and I am sure that those paths will be intertwined for a
long time yet: there is work to be done.

with respect,
-- phoebe
