[Margaret Moore]

Just to say I'm resigning my moderatorship as from today (at the end of a six-months' stint). I much appreciated the opportunity to help out in this way to the limits of my ability. However, it became clear early on that it would be harder than I had expected (without benefit of a home computer) to juggle Sphere duties and offline commitments - writing included. It's been a real pleasure to read a lively mix of 'non-met' and other poems - including some that were truly impressive - in the line of duty.

I do hope to drop in here and there sporadically once Alex has demoted me to ordinary member status.

Till when,

All good wishes to fellow-Sphereans, and many thanks to everyone who offered advice and encouragement. I feel sure that (with the benefit of Dee's shrewd and sensitive guidance) the Non-Met board will continue to flourish.

Margaret.

Margaret, you'll be much missed as a staff member, but we trust you'll remain as active as the inaccessibility of a computer allows. Many thanks from all of us.

Margaret, Thank you for all you've done! We will miss at non-met. Best wishes for continued success. Please stop by once in a while.

All the Best,
Donna

Margaret! Sorry to see you go (as mod) but I know exactly why! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your time and input and help.

Good luck

What Sis said.

Do keep in touch.

Margaret - Thanks for all your help. Hope to continue seeing you as a posting member. (I am curious, however, whether - as a retired Moderator - you are permitted to maintain any of the perks of office. Do you still have the car and driver? The health care plan? Do they make you return the jewelry?) Take care.

Hi Margaret,

That you didn't have a home computer makes me appreciate your hard work even more! I don't blame you for wanting a break. I will miss your thoughtful crits and guidance very much. Thanks for everything. Please don't be a stranger.

And somebody, please, pass Dee a crying towel...*pat pat*

Margaret,

we'll miss you greatly; a voice of sanity in a world sometimes mad beyond description. I hope you won't be a stranger. Keep the car and driver until Alex takes them away. You've earned them, dear.

Margaret,

I understand that you get to keep all the rooms and rooms of shoes that go with the job. That's something anyway.
Hurry back.

Bobby
