Hello and Goodbye,
Will no longer be regularly checking these forums. have another project that will be taking my time and attention. A couple friends and I will be analyzing and building comparative models of identically sized US/British/French frigates from the Revolutionary/Empire periods (1794-1812) with a view to illustrating framing technique (and scantling dimensionality) between and among the three paticipatory nationalities.
There has been so much bullshit written about this, by everybody, that an objective appreciation of factual data would be an aid to contemporary historians. We have received approvals and advances from US and French publishers. The results of our efforts would have been published as a practicum in any case, but with some editing, the publishers believe we got something worthwhile.
So, back I go to bow and buttock lines and frame dispositions. Back to hull form specs and the things that really float my boat. We are working very closely with Fr. Romero, D. Antscherl, and the modeling community at Model Ship World. if you are at all interested in these ships ,in this period, look for our posts there.
Enjoyed modulating with all of you, but it's time to move on. I'll drop in from time to time and give ya'll some site specs so you can see what we are doing.
Ciao. John
That sounds like a very fun project, John. Your knowledge, wit, overall craziness, and your company in general will be missed around here by more than it may seem sometimes. Please don't be a stranger!
It is a really fun project; one of those - "Damn, I gotta do this!" - kinda things. I'm sure you understand.
I will NOT be a stranger. I'll come in from time to time to say hello to my friends.
@Grollub, Thank you for your pm my friend, and I'll be sure to take care of Beaudy as I would myself. Wish I knew enough Swedish to tell you how much I have enjoyed your communications over the ages.
As I mentioned, I won't be a stranger, and will drop in from time to time. These kinds of friendships do not die. I hope to keep them close.
Ciao, John

Well, JWE + Mynok + AW1Steve up and gone, and now me too. Sick and tired of the Matrix forums and have been for some time; nothing to do with any of you guys. You can hit me up on FB if you like, but I'm bowing out from here.
All the best to you.
Take care of yourself Kristian.

Finally had a reply from the contracting company that I am potentially hiring through that my recruiter and the hiring manager at the "client" company have a phone conference scheduled for 9 am on Monday. [8D]
Time for some rum punch and a weekend.

With all of the old-timers bowing out, could it be time for one of the newbies to try a faber?
