FarewellIt's time for formal acknowledgement that I'm not in The Project any more.

I'm not interested in small features/fixes and have no time for big ones.
It was this way for very long time and I don't see how/when that could change.

My participation in The Project was one of the greatest adventures in my life.
Thanks to everyone!

Good luck on your ways.
And - long live to Postgres!!!

I know that a lot of what makes PostgreSQL what it is today is can be directly 
atttributed to your work.  Thank you.  And thank you for the personal help 
back when I was working on the PostgreSQL trigger documentation.

It's hard to imagine PostgreSQL with out MVCC, WAL, subselects, etc.

You know, maybe on the Developer's page there should be a "PostgreSQL
Hall of Fame" with Vadim and Thomas Lockhart being the first two
inductees.

If you had not been here in the PostgreSQL community, I might
not have been here. Thank you and good luck to you.

Re: Farewell

I never know what to say in response to stuff like this ... its like
having to sign a card when a co-worker leaves ... then again, unlike most
co-workesr, I can definitely say its been a great pleasure to have known,
and worked, with you ... you brought, and gave, alot to the project, and
for that, we thank you ... thanks :)

I can't say it any better than Newton did: 

"If I have seen farther than others, it is by standing on the shoulders
of giants", Issac Newton

Just a "me too" ... we'll all miss you.  Thanks so much for all the work
you have put into Postgres.  And best of luck in your future activities.

Bye!   Aside from one meeting in 2001, I know you only from your work.  But 
that's a very lasting impression ... even should you never come back to us, I 
think people will still be seeing your name in the code for many years to 
come.

Are you moving on to anything else in Open Source?

I think we are going to have a "Retired Core Developers" section on the
web page, and we will put Vadim and Thomas in there.
