    Dear friends,

    It's sad for me to admit what I'm about to write, and I hate to say what I have to say, but I have no other option at the moment. I'm terribly sorry, but I'll have to officially declare myself semi-retired right now due to the daily life problems I have to solve every day (well, actually I've been semi-retired for a while by now as you might have already noticed - my activity has been terribly low within the last few months). I actually expected to make a comeback in December, and hoped that my University-related appointments will be reduced. However, due to a sudden and unexpected leave of one of our teachers our department is pretty much forced to work double-time due to the fact that many groups of students were suddenly left without a teacher of the practical course of English. I'm terribly sorry that I can't help you guys out, but I hope that whatever I've done before is at least enough to know where I stopped and how to work from there. I've GPLed everything I could and released as much as I only could - unless there was an objection from someone, I released every bit of information that I knew.

    I don't declare myself completely retired, though (and I never will). All the Uni-related stuff will become smaller eventually, but unfortunately, this "eventually" may be a quite long period of time. I'll still check out the Co8 boards regularly and will be available for questions and requests by PM or e-mail. Don't hesitate to ask whatever you want and request whatever you want - I can't promise a quick reply or action but I can promise that I'll definitely take a look at your problem upon the first available free spot of time.

    You guys are great keep up the wonderful work!
    "I'll be back" (C) ;) :D

    Take care!
    Long live the Circle of Eight!

    Best regards,
    - Agetian

    Thanks for your kind words and support, guys. I'll keep you updated on what's going on in my life and will try to provide support for the Co8/KotB projects as the time permits. Good luck!

    Well best of luck Ag.

    It's certainly sad to hear you wont be able to spend as much time, but RL does offer it's difficulties. I'm glad to hear you'll still be stopping by, and very much look forward to your return in full.

    Cuchulainn.
